About Me

I directed the McDonald's commercial with the 2 dudes eating french fries in the Mercedes-Benz dealership, the Aloha United Way spots with the balls of light to name a few.
I'm into films and filmmaking, photography,wasting your time and mine on MySpace, and buying and selling useless stuff on ebay.
