Then in 2011, he co-founded Left Cost Theater Co. which has produced the well received plays "Family Programming, "Love and Other Disasters," "I'm Not Okay, Cupid," and "Twisted Fairy Tales." During this time he also started his acting career and has appeared as the Flight Attendant in "Two Wings and a Breast" in the GuyWriters production of EOS 3, then as "Ben" in "What "Good Friends are For" in EOS4. He most recently starred as "Lloyd Dallas" in the Shelton Theater production of "Noises Off." He followed that production by acting in the two shorts in Left Coast's production of "Twisted Fairy Tales" by staring as "Rapunzel" in "Cal 101" and "Celeste" in "Step Mother's Manifesto." He also was co-founder of Endeavor Foundation For The Arts, a non-profit that provides funding for LGBT artists and students.
