About Me

I was born in Kansas City. Then lived in Chicago and New York as a child, traveled Europe for two years.Graduated high school, top of the class, in Santa Fe, N.M. Went to college on full scholarship at UNM, Albuquerque, N.M. I owned an award winning karate school in Santa Fe. I've won several world and national karate titles. (People have asked me about this. It's for real. Got an American flag that was flown over the White House in D.C. in my honor. Sweet, huh?) I moved to Los Angeles part time in 1992, full time in 2000. I'm one of the co-founders of Gold Circle Films. VP of production for a dozen feature films (including MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING), I was lead producer for ROLLING KANSAS and I've had 3 films premiere at Sundance. I currently have projects at major studios and agencies here in Los Angeles. I workout and teach some kickboxing classes at Meridian's Bodies In Motion Westside. Been doing this MySpace thing for a few months now and everybody's been real nice. I've noticed that there are a LOT of fake profiles. What's the deal with that? Some douche-bag sitting at home phishing for my password? Are they just porno links? I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the beautiful women I meet here are just 14 year old boys with scanners living in Virginia or something. Whatever. OH, AND CHECK OUT MY "100% TRUE HOLLYWOOD STORIES" BLOG EVERY WEEK, BITCHES! And a big shout out to lovely Amber for my page design. You are the BEST, Doll!! ..

My Interests

I'm all for World Peace. Love my Nintendo Wii. Candy is SO awesome. Can't live without XBox 360. And I love Hot Chicks (baby chickens standing in the sun... damn, you're so quick to judge!).

I'd like to meet:

People. Maybe some Aliens (no probes, no ray guns). But definitely NO rats, cockroaches, scumbags, backstabbers or any other CEOs of Gold Circle Films.

Music:

Anything but Country Western. Love Collective Soul. Getting into Beck. I work to Classical. Always into U2. Nelly. Love Def Leppard. INXS (old and new).

Movies:

Every movie ever made. Seriously. After making over a dozen feature films, I realize how incredibly hard it is to get a movie made. So they're all fantastic. Even the shitty ones... except VAN HELSING. Stephen Sommers should serve jail time for making that abomination. But I digress...

Television:

Daily Show. Conan. The Soup. Colbert Report. South Park. Letterman. Entourage. Seinfeld. Law and Order reruns. Forensic Files. Psychic Detectives. Sleeper Cell. Brotherhood. Dexter. How I Met Your Mother.

Books:

Stephen King. Ken Follett. Dennis Lehane. Robert R. McCammon. I average a book every 2 weeks.

Heroes:

That guy who cut his arm off trapped under a boulder. Ouch! George Carlin (met him). Muhammed Ali (met him. twice.) Peter O'Toole. Ray Bradbury (met him. twice.) John McTiernan. Clint Eastwood (met him, too). Harry Houdini (can't meet him - he's dead).
