Why did you decide to audition for the DCC?: After I moved home to Texas, I realized I wasn’t finished performing! DCC auditions were coming up and I decided to give it a shot. Not only am I able to continue my passion, but I gained a great group of friends along the way!

What are some of your DCC highlights?: I tell people all the time, when in uniform, we become Superman! Being able to give back to the community, visit hospitals, visit veterans is what truly makes this job amazing.
