About Me

Owner / operator of Carom Video a concept to completion video production company based in Big Rapids Michigan USA. My company is not yet six months old but is doing well, thanks to my experience of many facets in the entertainment and corportate video industries from three major markets across the United States.Over the summer I'll teach DVD production at Ferris State alongside my work for Carom Video, as well as continue my longstanding project of RatLandia Rattery, a breeder of fancy rats for pet homes, and continue to look into the possibility of a therapy program with well socialized rats as the centerpiece. HTML content to post goes here (e.g. text, images, objects, etc.)" / Share on MySpace!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Clients for the video company, people that might want rats for pets and other people that are cool and local to the Big Rapids area. Equestrians as well, I'll be spending much time at nearby Hungerford this summer so see you on trail ok?

Jesus Christ, Comedian Extraordinaire

First off, in most ways, I live life in full belief of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He saved my mom from cancer when I was a teenager and I'll never forget that miracle. I go to Church regularly ...

When will Mother Nature get off the rag????

Styptic sticks save the day

Poor Ernie jumped off a shelf in his cage the other day and got his toe stuck.  He dangled that way until I was able to free him.  Only took a few seconds to get to the cage&n...

The Gentling Chute for Hannah

So, here are the photos of the gentling chute I built for Hannah.  It's not too bad for how warped some of the wood is and the fact that I didn't set the posts very hard or deep (it is all sand t...
