MYKEL SHANNON JENKINS
Mykel Shannon Jenkins, born in Biloxi, Mississippi, to an officer in
the United States Air Force, traveled with his family across the United
States. With his parents and two siblings, Mykel finally settled in New
Orleans, Louisiana, where he graduated from Bonnabel High School
and, thereafter, earned a bachelor's degree from Loyola University.
While in high school, Mykel was a nationalist in drama and speech &
debate. It was at this time that his fire for the dramatic was ignited.
While holding down a part-time job as a waiter, after college Mykel
became a household name as the host of New Orleans’ WB38 Kids'
Club, where for more than four years he served as an on-air
personality introducing kids and parents to a world of knowledge.
Also while in New Orleans, Mykel landed many roles, including one
that earned him screen time with Tommy Lee Jones and Ashley Judd
in Double Jeopardy.

In 2003, lead by his faith in Christ, armored with a winning attitude
and empowered by his family, Mykel made his move to Hollywood
and began studying his craft at the Beverly Hills Playhouse. He
currently studies under acting coaches, Gary Imhoff and Eric Stewart.
Since his big move, Mykel has guest starred in several television
series, such as CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, and The Good Guys.

Although Mykel is quite busy fine tuning his acting skills, he still finds
time to train physically as well as spiritually. Being a personal trainer,
Mykel knows what it takes to maintain a healthy body, i.e., hard work
and discipline. He enjoys training others because he is able to aid in
more than just the physical development, but in spiritual and mental
growth as well.  In his spare time, Mykel enjoys watching movies,
playing softball, bowling and creative writing. At the close of his
busy day, Mykel finds time to play his two favorite roles, a devoted
father and husband, with tremendous patience, understanding and
love.
