About Jens

Guatemalan | Danish | Confused

I was born in St. Louis, MO and raised in Eden Prairie, MN by two first-generation immigrant parents and had a pretty eclectic mix of career aspirations: an NFL quarterback, then a Catholic priest, and of course, an epidemiologist.

Naturally, I pursued on acting.

I began my formal training in high school at the Guthrie Theater. Then, I received my BA in Drama from Washington University in St. Louis (yes, it’s a mouthful to say every time,) with supplemental on-camera coaching from Michael James Reed. I’ve studied Meisner with John Lacy and receive coaching from Jason Wiles in Los Angeles.

Since moving to LA in 2021, I have traveled globally to shoot commercials for multiple major brands and have acted in short films, vertical series, and features across California.

Currently, I have the privilege of collaborating with novelist and screenwriter David Freeman to adapt his latest novel into a full-length feature. I am represented by Luli Batista and Tracey Michales at Sovereign Talent Group and managed by Mandy Del Rio at Citizen Skull.
