About Me


BIO
I'm a filmmaker, actor and comedy writer from Chicago. I love acting in films, making films or just in general being a part of the process. I'm the type that really gets into specific niches where special detail is put into the production of a film. I guess I can't stand run-of-the-mill type stuff. I have a special plan for the stuff I make. I like it 'interesting'!
I also love writing skits and routines. I do a lot of this with my Comedy "Accordionrock" band HERC
I've been at all of this for about 15 years now. My roots started at the classy punk rock venues in Chicago like the Fireside Bowl, Lounge Ax, the Empty Bottle, Double Door and so on. Then onto national tours with Herc, bringing our comedy to as many cities as we could! From there I've worked with a vast network of comedians and entertainers producing a large body of short films. I've been entertaining audiences in one form or another for quite some time and my talents are sharp as a whistle!
Currently I'm trying to step to the next level by touring my works across the country and in LA. It's a tough racquet, but that's ok; if Hollywood doesn't want me, that's fine. I'm already very happy with my films and what they mean to me!
