About Me

My daughter applaudes me!!!

I'm a dad. And this is my future...

Look – I’m a twin! It’s a short film I worked on recently. There's no dialogue, only sound effects and some music. Enjoy.

And here’s probably the biggest news flash… I HAD A BABY!!! Okay, I’m not the one that actually had it. My girlfriend did. Right now I'm in a new sketch show and trying to save our trees from in front of our aprartment.pFor those who would like to know more about me, then read on. I work at JONES, I write, I do sketch comedy, I direct, I produce. Currently I’m working on developing a show for podcasts, and I’m in pre-production on some spec. commercials. I’ve got lots of marketable ideas and I’m not even trying to exaggerate, here’s a list: Twelve (12) feature length films, a sitcom, a game show (and home version game for it as well), a Celebreality TV show idea for VH1, a late night TV talk show, at least three different commercials that I’d like to shoot, a piece (book or pamphlet, I haven’t decided yet) I’d like to write entitled MAPLE RULES, and of course, three different children’s books.

My Interests

MOVIES (watching, talking about, writing), SKETCH COMEDY (watching, writing, performing), WRITING (slices of life, screenplays). PHOTOGRAPHY (I love taking pictures and sharing them with friends). Going out, and of course (from time to time) I do enjoy a good drink. (hic-up)

I'd like to meet:

Any entertainment gurus, or creative types, who can help me make one (if not many) of my dreams a reality.

Music:

Little bit of everything.

Movies:

GAY TOP GUN ANYONE? This is a preview of a staged version of Top Gun that I was in. I played Goose. Believe it or not, he was the only straight one in the whole show.TRANSFORMERS! Honestly, the most fun I've had at the movies in a really long time! Other favorites include: The Shawshank Redemption, Field of Dreams, Indiana Jones trilogy, Back to the Future, The Princess Bride ("as you wish"), Shakespeare in Love, Moulin Rouge ("Come What May"), Dazed and Confused, Swingers. Also love the classics: Casablanca, It Happened One Night, and The Wizard of Oz. (what? I'm from Kansas.)

Television:

HEROES. Let's just say that cable and having a DV-R ROCKS!!! But ususally I'm too busy doing other things, like changing diapers, walking the dog, and trying to keep my sanity.

Books:

An Assult on Reason is supposed to be pretty good, but I haven't read it yet: 1.Because I don't have enough time right now. 2.Because there aren't enough copies at the library. I think I'm #253 on the waiting list for 43 copies. Any idea on how long I'm going to have to wait?

Heroes:

My parents. For putting up with me. How did they ever survive?

To the Academy...

I'd like to take this time to thank the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts, & Sciences for my Academy Award. While it's true I have yet to be nominated for this prestigious award, I look forward to...
