About Me

I've spent the last 25 years as a professional magician touring the planet - Japan, Australia, Canada, and much much much of the United States teaching kids about recycling. I would now like to make movies and videos that explore some of the stuff I've thought about while traveling in a wildly, absurdly, comical universe.

My Interests

I love Australian Shepherds. My wife and I have 3 right now. Their names are Buster, Keaton, & Rosie. I also love my new Canon XL-2 camera. I love riding my four wheeler through the woods very very fast. I love stop motion animation. I love and have an interest in my wife.

I'd like to meet:

Writer and Director Harold Ramus. The founder of Virgin Airlines Sir Richard Branson. Songwriter Jack Johnson. Writer and Businessman Harvey McKay. Writer and Movie Director Richard Rodriguez. Movie Producer Brian Grazer. English movie director Danny Boyle. That guy that stole my van tires and tried to sell them back to me when I was living in New York City back in the 1980's.

Music:

Loud Blues.

Movies:

Anything Lawrence Kasdan or Nora Ephron have ever done. Field of Dreams. Raising Arizona. The Untouchables. All That Jazz. Millions. Silverado. Hell Boy. The Empire Strikes Back. My Blue Heaven. Amalie. Lost In Translation. Groundhog Day. The Natural.

Television:

My favorite TV shows of all time include LAUGH IN, MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS, and THE ERNIE KOVACS SHOW. These days I find MY NAME IS EARL to be really funny. I like the idea that Earl misunderstands Karma, but he's still trying to make it right any way he can. I think we're all like that really. We're all getting it wrong in one way or another, but we just keep doing the best we can.

Books:

The Tipping Point by Malcom Gladwell. Making Movies by Sidney Lumet. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson. The front page of THE WEEKLY WORLD NEWS... makes me laugh almost everytime!

Heroes:

My heroes include... Joseph Campbell, Harold Ramus, Ernie Kovacs, Buster Keaton, Doug Henning, Rowan Atkinson, Lawrence Kasdan, Dan Akroyd, Martin Luther King Jr, and my dad.
