I destroy... in order to create.

About Me

I live for art and music, when I'm not working on a film set, I love to draw, paint and write. I play guitar and sing in a band called Zen Thesis (check out our MySpace site!) and am constantly going to live shows and art exhibits.Though I live and work in "Hollywood", I still consider myself a kid from the Pacific NW who still likes to drink coffee and read on rainy days, spend time in the wild with the real animals, walk the neighborhood at sunset and relax with a beer and some friends.

My Interests

Art (I love surrealism; Parkes, Giger, Dali...), music (the live-er, the better), the Great Outdoors (hiking, camping, etc..), lazy afternoons with an old sci-fi book, computer gaming (I'm becoming quite the Unreal enthusiast, as well as my nerd-self fave TRON 2.0), singing along with the radio as loud as I can, skateboarding (my favorite mode of transportation, entertainment, exercise and stress management), anything to do with science; space, technology, robotics (I'm 2/3 rock star and 1/3 uber-nerd), cranking my Schecter guitar and 600 watt amp to 12 and just let fly, cheeseburgers at greasy roadside joints, BUFFALO WINGS (lord almighty), backyard BBQ's and goofin' with the Bongo!
