About

I teach everyone to express themselves truthfully. I integrate the well-known Meisner technique into our exercises, games, and scene study to encourage each person's individual talent to shine.

I trained in New York City at Carnegie Hall, with a veteran Meisner acting teacher. Currently, I'm a working actor and have been intermittently coaching for over 20 years. I am an award-winning actor/singer in the Bay Area, and have been recently featured on TV (Jane the Virgin), and many local commericals and numerous short Indie films in SF.

I'm passionate about encouraging people. It's fun. It's rewarding. It's a blessing! I love talent and I love to observe a person's growth, becoming less self-conscious and more free.

    I hired Brad to assist my daughter with preparing monologues for her audition portion of her application to several universities. I was very impressed at how well he directed and taught my daughter on how to perform the monologues. He is punctual, flexible and patient which I love. THANK YOU BRAD!

    Brad is an excellent teacher. Immediately, he made me feel at ease, listened to my concerns and insecurities. The exercises he went through with me allowed me to relax and engage in the art of acting from a beginner’s point of view and build my confidence to pursue it further. I like that Brad has the options of one-on-one classes and small group classes. He is friendly, sincere and credible from his own experiences. I think taking a class from Brad would help you in any role you are looking to pursue in film whether it be screenwriting, producing, directing, etc. Being able to see filmmaking from another point of view has helped me feel more well-rounded in my craft.

    Ive been working with Brad now for about 6 months. Acting is hard but I think Ive come a long way. He teaches the Meisner which is different from the method which to me is easier to get. He is honest and easygoing I definitely recommend him for someone whos serious about becoming an actor. I look forward to his classes and every time I discover something new and it feel like Im improving with each class.
