"This lion definitely likes to sleep in."

"Before anything, I need coffee. I go to my favorite coffee shop in Astoria. I hang on the patio and figure out what's next in the day."

"I love to go to Astoria Park and run along the water. There's so much greenery. It's so perfect."

"Time to go to work! I've fallen in love with teaching dance. It’s so cool to leave my stamp on the next generation of performers."

"To see my students' passion and dedication is beyond rewarding and makes me so happy."

"Next, I meet up with the character I love to much: Simba. It's been almost two years, but it feels like the first time every time."

"The Minskoff Theatre has been home to The Lion King for quite some time, and it's such an honor to step into the role of Simba."

"After the show, it's time for this lion to let his mane down. I love having a good time out on the town in New York City with the people I love."
