About Me
Hey! My name is Miles, my pronouns are He/Him/His, and I am a mixed-race performer specializing in Musical Theatre! I grew up in Oshkosh, WI and I'm currently based in NYC. I attended UW - Stevens Point pursuing a BFA in Musical Theatre and Minor in Dance. What really shaped my journey as a young artist was the community and support I found in the arts.
My mom is an immigrant from Guatemala, and my dad is of northern European descent, which has made discovering my identity in the theatre world complicated. Telling stories authentically is vitally important, which includes diversity in identity and background, as well as true representation of lived experiences. I believe it's imperative to have tough conversations about expression, colorism, accessibility, and equity.
Post-college I moved to NYC for roughly six months before the Covid-19 Pandemic redirected my path. I spent the following three years discovering who I am, trying new things, and practicing patience. My partner and I moved to Austin, TX; there I found a deep love for different regions and fusions of cuisine, spent plenty of time outdoors and in the water, polished my self-tape game, and even attended some open mic nights for a different aspect of live performing. I returned to the city in the spring of 2024, refreshed and engaged in my craft.

In my free time I enjoy spending warm days outside, cooking, writing, and playing video games! I'm a huge animal lover, and would jump at the chance to hang out with your pet! If you need need an extra player for your rec volleyball team, I'm your guy!
