About Me

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxHow do you tell people about yourself with out putting them to sleep? Stick with the facts, but be entertaining.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Nor am I a great speller, so bare with me on that subject as well. I'm half Filipino and half Irish-American. I know, odd combo huh? I spent most of my life in Illinois, growing up in Carpentersville, Illinois. I moved down to Tampa, Florida after high school and have lived here ever since. I went through a lot of rough times, and sometimes I think I still am. But thankfully I met the woman of my dreams and Christina became my wife. She's become my rock, and my inspiration in all aspects of my life.I won the Young Author's Award in grade school and ever since have loved writing stories, books, and even scripts. I believe a lot of my talent stems from my father, who was a writer in his own right. He even had his own book published, "Twelve Minutes Over Fatima". He was always a blue collar worker with a dream of writing. I am no different.There is nothing better than when people tell you that you have real talent. It can make you feel like you can conquer the world. It can make you beat on your chest with pride. The question is what do you do with it? For me, there was always a push to tell good stories for an audience. One of the great outlets I found for my creativity was helping form the small internet based independent film company, NEW LINEAGE FILMS. This film company gave the opportunity to tell more stories, but in a new medium.I now am hoping to break out with my own projects including television pilots. I am also a part of the tbo Street team. Every couple of weeks or so I review a film for the paper before it comes out. Portions of my reviews are put into the Friday Extra paper and the entire reviews are put on the website tbo.com key word reel people. Check it out to see all my reviews, or keep an eye on my blogs.Sorry that this page is so blah... with a push from my wife I have started this in hopes that the inspiration that has left me will return, thanks to the flow of creative juices I use to work on this page.
