So here is my story about Aiming High. This was written for an upcoming reading at The Moth.

I’m an actor. And like many actors, I went to school for acting. But I didn’t spend a lot of time when I was young thinking about what was the right school per sé because I didn’t know there were any options. I grew up in Kansas (I was a military brat and I wasn’t born there) and I spent my formative years in Kansas. Regardless, I ended up getting a scholarship to what ended up being the perfect school for me, The University of Kansas.
