About Me

I hate wearing shoes, but they won't let me into 7/11 without them...Apparently I call everyone dude, women included. I don't like to lose. I fancy myself something of a renaissance man. I've been known to disappear into the wilderness from time to time. I wouldn't say I ride, but if I ever need to use a horse to get somewhere I know how. I need to travel more. I've completed a years worth of a master cabinetmaker's apprenticeship. I can't stand annoying people and out rightly pessimistic people. I'm a filmmaker. I just left film school, seems the money would be better spent just making films. I have a boatload of personal training certifications, and a solid knowledge of biomechanics, but no real desire to use them. I've recently realized that the lack of a spell-check on this website's interface worries me, and that's pathetic. I take pictures, sometimes they make me money. I play guitar, it doesn't. I don't plan anything until the day before it happens, and sometimes not even that early (unless there's a production budget).
