About Me

I was born, raised and edumacated in the midwest. Upon finishing graduate school in 1994, I moved to L.A. to pursue a career in feature films. All things worked out well for me and twelve years later I still walk along that road. I settled a few blocks from the Pacific Ocean so I can enjoy the palm trees, ocean breeze and buh-key-neeze. I ride my bike along the beach path, run in the sand and play basketball outside year 'round. As of this month, I have worked at the same company for ten years! My choice of work grants me financial freedom for those moments of life when I am not there. An added bonus of my job is that it can be cool at times. Other times, it can suck, but find one that doesn't occasionally? Anyways, I enjoy cooking, MUSIC, reading, cycling, going to concerts, traveling and making people laugh.
