While studying at the Bellarmine College Preparatory High School, he helped found A'shore Productions, an Indian-American theatre company - the first of its kind on the West coast.

After graduation, he began studying theatre at UCLA's School of Theatre, Film and Television, where he was trained as an actor under Mel Shapiro's program and received instruction from the likes of Anthony Hopkins and Annette Bening.

He received his bachelor's degree in theatre from UCLA in June 2006, at the end of his four years.

He is proud to call Los Angeles his permanent home.
