WHo am I?

Welcome to my website! I’m Jake (he/him/his) and I am an actor, singer, and solid mover based out of both New York City and Orlando, Florida! I am a true “Jersey Boy” (pun intended) originally from the small town of Glen Rock, New Jersey where I spent my days living through my imagination— playing pirates in my backyard, dreaming of flying away to Neverland, and putting on plays in my basement for my family at just about every holiday. It was that creative and unstoppable imagination of mine that led me to a passion for pursuing a career in theatre. However, it wasn’t Neverland that I flew off to, but instead a magical land called New York City. I graduated in 2020 from Marymount Manhattan College where I received my BFA in Musical Theatre.

 
 

After graduation I relocated to Orlando, Florida in hopes of seeking entertainment work that was unattainable in New York at the time, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. What started out as a temporary pandemic plan, soon became a 5 year (and counting!) journey of some of the greatest and most rewarding work I’ve ever gotten to do! Here in Orlando, I have been privileged enough to perform at some of its world renowned theme parks, resorts, dinner theaters and the area’s professional theatre scene!

Previous theatrical credits include; Jersey Boys (Frankie Valli, 2025 Emma Award Winner for “Outstanding Leading Actor”), Jersey Boys (Frankie Valli u/s), Cabaret (Victor), 42nd Street (Bert Barry), The Little Mermaid (Scuttle, 2023 Critic’s Pick Nominee—Orlando Sentinel), The Addams Family (Ancestor, u/s Pugsley, u/s Fester), The Bridges of Madison County (Michael), and The SpongeBob Musical (SpongeBob SquarePants). Theme park credits include; the grand opening team of Universal Epic Universe, The Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular (Universal Orlando Resort - 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025), Jimmy Fallon’s The Ragtime Gals (Universal Orlando Resort), Popeye the Sailor Man (Universal Orlando Resort), Commedia of the Seven Seas (SeaWorld Orlando), and Elmo Rocks! (SeaWorld Orlando). Miscellaneous credits include; seasonal actor at Gaylord Palms Resort,  resident performer at Capone’s Dinner & Show, and the reopening cast of Capone’s Underground Dinner Show.

New York credits include; Audition Redemption at 54 Below, The Balcony at Marymount Manhattan College, The Servant of Two Masters at MMC, Working: A Musical at MMC, and Love’s Labour’s Lost at The York Theatre.

Although I currently reside in Orlando, I will always have a home in New York as well. My dreams and aspirations reach far beyond just the sunshine state! I go where the work is. I hope you enjoy exploring my site, and I look forward to connecting with you soon!
