In rural Northern California, Cody was brought up in a community laiden with jam circles, intrepid imagination, and a compass driven outside the box. Today, he’s an award winning actor, songwriter/ musician, and arts educator who sources his roots to build performances centered in storytelling and play.

Cody graduated from The Pacific Conservatory for the Performing Arts With a degree in acting, and went on to study at Milwaukee Rep's Artistic Internship program as their youngest ever apprentice.

 

Ever the musician at heart, Cody continued refining his musicianship as his acting blossomed, and in 2013, landed his first Actor-Musician musical as Jerry Allison (drums) in The Buddy Holly Story with Ogunquit Playhouse.

 

Throughout his decade-long residency in New York, he went on to perfom on countless legendary stages including Utah Shakespeare Festival, Pioneer TC, The Paramount, Phoenix TC, The Rubicon, Actor's Playhouse, along with multiple contracts with Disney, Norwegian, and Oceania Cruise Lines.

​

After over a decade based on the east coast and practically living on the road, Cody returned home to the SF Bay Area where he traded the concrete jungle for the inheritance of his childhood chicken ranch. He now performs locally as an AEA actor with companies such as San Francisco Playhouse, San Jose Stage, and Woodminster Summer Musicals.

​​

In addition to recording, producing, and perfoming his original music, Cody electrically fronts STARMAN✮SF: The Sensational Bowie Concert Experience. 

 

Offtage, you can find Cody overseeing acting/ drama classes at elementary schools spanning from Vacaville to Benicia as the head of Arts Education for Starbound Theatre Academy. 

 

Whether leading the charge, supporting a powerhouse production, or sharing a stripped-down set spiced with his heart, Cody invites you into a world that’s raw, rooted, and rebellious.
