Offstage
Henry was born in Rhode Island, but moved to Illinois at a young age. He played a number of sports throughout high school, and was most drawn to travel soccer. He joined choir in the 4th grade and immediately fell in love with singing and performing which eventually lead to his love for acting. He went on to attend the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt where he received a BFA in Musical Theatre with honors. He has called Chicago home ever since (aside from two years of being on tour). In the fall of 2021 he will be moving to New York city to pursue his dream of being on Broadway.
When he is not onstage you can most likely find him spending time with friends, rock climbing, working out, reading, playing video games or riding his bike. His family has a miniature dachshund named Sweet Pea whom he loves more than most humans. Henry loves traveling, going on adventures, camping, and just about everything involved with being outdoors. He also loves to cook and build things.
