About Me

I'm a happily-married husband, father of six great kids, CPA by profession, and Christian, with a passion for Hollywood as a mission field. As the local chapter director for the Hollywood Prayer Network and co-founder of the Hollywood Club for high school students in the Phoenix/Mesa area ( www.hollywoodclub.net ), my heart's desire and calling is to help prepare the next generation to transform Hollywood from the inside out.

I help students discover their strengths/talents/callings, and encourage them to become "roaring lambs." Reviewing and discussing films with others and "finding God in the movies" are other passions of mine. I value relevance (vs. meaninglessness), excellence (vs. mediocrity), truth (vs. error, path to failure), the big picture (vs. tactical minutia), and purpose (vs. wandering).

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Reese Witherspoon, Kate Winslet, Amy Adams, Johnny Depp, Jack Black, Kristin Chenoweth, Idina Menzel, Zooey Deschanel, Kat Von D, Jerry Bruckheimer, Rachel McAdams, Katherine Harris, Sarah Palin; and any and all high school students and young adults who have a passion for Hollywood - the world's most influential mission field!
