Bio
Byron is originally from Houston, TX. He earned his MFA from The Actors Studio Drama School, studied techniques developed by Strasberg, Meisner & Adler from Elizabeth Kemp, Susan Aston & Jacqueline Knapp. Learning these techniques requires a great deal of dedication to develop. However, maintaining a safe and mentally healthy work environment is more important than any one person’s process. Byron constantly pushes himself in new and unfamiliar territory both by exploring new roles and producing original work. In addition to his passion for performing, you can find him cooking, gardening, reading the latest sci/fi fantasy novel, and raising his three wonderful kids, Thomas, Theodore & Alice, with his gorgeous wife!
Byron also works for the Hacksensack Meridian School of Medicine as a Standardized Patient. This involves working with medical students in simulated scenarios to build their communication and empathy skills. This includes a leadership position in the school's Pediatric program helping develop new medical cases and guiding the other SP's in those sessions.
