..Where to begin ?
Moved to Austin from Chicago when I was 19, best mistake I ever made. Great town, great people, though I'll be the first to admit I do miss Chicago Pizza and White Castles ( and no mater what Conan's says, they are defiantly NOT Chicago style ! ).
The last few years have been pretty amazing. Underground Planet went from an idea and a dream to winning first place for "Best New Music Video" for the second year in a row in Oklahoma with our second video for Brandon Jenkins and then went on to win second place for " Video Of The Year " with Ryan DeSiato's " Make Believe " video at the Austin Music Network awards. Only coming in second to our Brandon Jenkins " Down In Flames " video, just how cool is that? So that year the only person that beat me was me. Shortly thereafter I was asked to be a presenter at The National Association Of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas. I was filling in for the Senior Director of NBC Nightline, not too shabby!
So that's where I'll leave it for now. I'll update the blog from time to time as well as the forum on my main site www.undergroundplanet.com . Also the place to go if you have any interest in checking out some of my work, most of my videos are there for the browsing.
Off to edit;

P.S. If you just haven't had enough to read here are a couple articles I'm more than a little proud of:
