About Me

I was raised in Oklahoma. I moved to Phx to learn how to Produce music. I eventually moved to LA and did alot of work in sound for TV and movies for 2 1/2 years. For the last two and a half I've been working in Production on numerous shows, and commercials. I'm gaining a great deal of experience and love my work. I've been so wrapped up in my work I haven't been able to appreciate the few free things in LA like hiking and surfing like I used to. I live in Santa Monica, love the beach, loved to surf (until I got hurt skating a parking garage in sandals) and enjoy the outdoors in general. Fortunatly in my line of work I'm outside in different locations everyday, but rarely find myself at the beach or in the water anymore. I'm going to change that this year. I'm a grounded person just livin. I live my life day to day month to month year by year, but I've never had that approach in regards to my relationships with my family, friends, or any persons that I care deeply for...

My Interests

Checkin out new places, dancing, drinking, Grilling, camping, concerts, football.
