About Me



My family is from the East Coast or 'North' if you are a directionally challenged Southerner. I grew up in LA and visited 31 states, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Tahiti, Greece, The Czech Republic, Spain, France & Turkey. I adore Italian EVERYTHING, green eyes and Otis my English bulldog.
I'm involved in a TV pilot called Indieville an irreverent look at the world of independent film. Associate producer off camera & intern reporter on camera.
I direct Ideaprov a professional improv theatre company.
Addicted to fine cinema. I live my life by the tenants of the GODFATHER series & I'm a card carrying member of the KISS ARMY like any red blooded American male of my generation. I have never ridden a mechanical bull or dated a super model. I've met Bono & he has tiny hands. Joe Walsh said it best - "I'm an ordinary average guy."
P.S. Someone please take Nicole Richie to Waffle House.
