Between 2003 and 2008, he studied drama acting at the JAMU in Brno, during his studies he was a guest in several Brno theaters, for example in the U Stolu Theater, in the HaDivadle, later also in the Dlouhá Theater in Prague or at the Summer Shakespeare Festival at the Prague Castle. He is also active in Brno’s independent theater BuranTeatr.
In the same year that he graduated from the Janáček Academy, he joined the Brno Municipal Theatre.
