Since then, he has continuously performed and studied under a variety of theaters and instructors, the mainstays being DSI, Mettlesome, ComedyWorx, and The PIT (Chapel Hill). He currently performs with Mettlesome's musical improv team Singamajig and Harold team No Consequences, as well as ComedyWorx's Armando team Capital City Culture Club and Black Sheep Comedy's Improvised Horror Movie.
