About Me

I'm an easy-going, fun-loving, rock star wannabe: romantic, idealistic, and creative dude. Strong artistic bent- love painting, photography, drawing, design, music- making career as an independent videographer/filmmaker (see below). But you should get to know me because I'm a good friend, and can get down like James Brown!
business:
I'm an independent filmmaker, actor, and artist living in Western Massachusetts. My clients include such varied organizations as Barrington Stage Company, The Austen Riggs Center, The Berkshire Taconic Foundation, and Norman Rockwell Museum.
I work at the Museum as a photographer and writer, and create content for their Web site, www.nrm.org . I have documented numerous exhibitions, events, and artist interviews in my role as staff videographer, including short documentaries for such exhibitions as "LitGraphic: The World of the Graphic Novel," "National Geographic: The Art of Exploration," "Building Books: The Art of David Macaulay," and "Dinotopia: The Fantastical Art of James Gurney." My work has also appeared on the PBS, NBC, CBS, FOX, and ABC-TV networks.
As an actor I have appeared in both theater and film productions (the most recent being Spielberg's "The War of the Worlds"), and I am currently a company member of Main Street Stage in North Adams, MA. I like to sing, and am currently experimenting with some music ideas. Continuing on this thread, I also host and co-produce a TV music program titled Berkshire Soundstage, which features interviews and performances with regional and national acts (recent guests: Keane, Travis, A-ha, Ron Carter, Junoon, Hector on Stilts, The Temptations, Prince).
Always interested in potential creative opportunities- drop me a line- cheers!

If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people - their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties - someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal." - John F. Kennedy
