They've had some incredible experiences in this industry; their favorite credits include voicing the lead in the English Dub of the hit Greek drama series Maestro in Blue; bantering in Japanese with members of the pop group Nogizaka46 live on national television; and terrorizing the recently-deceased as an Immigration Officer in the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice: Afterlife Experience in Hollywood. When he's not dancing with reckless abandon, losing himself in the awe of the natural world, or professing his love to the nearest sweet potato, he enjoys making ridiculous videos on the internet.
