Born and raised in Brooklyn, Jovani now calls Boise home, where he pursues his passion for acting and creating theater. Jovani is drawn to stories that start conversations-- ones that challenge perspectives and stay with audiences long after the curtain falls. He gravitates toward characters wrestling with internal conflicts, often the underdogs or the least expected. He brings presence and commitment to every role. Beyond the stage, he is perfecting the art of espresso, exploring the outdoors on a run, or winding down with a good book.

       Jovani studied acting at Rutgers Mason Gross School of the Arts and had the incredible opportunity to perform at Shakespeare's Gobe in London in As You Like It and Julius Caesar, where he also participated in a workshop with the brilliant Mark Rylance. One of his favorite roles was portraying Oscar in Sweat by Lynn Nottage. He has performed at Theater for the New City, Hudson Valley Shakespeare, Alley Repertory Theater, Boise Contemporary Theater, and The Spot. Most recently, Jovani and his wife founded Little Branch, a new theater company dedicated to thought-provoking and community-driven storytelling.
