Live Your Life on Purpose

About Me

I'm happily living in Los Angeles helping actors and artists achieve their wildest dreams. Learn more at www.dallastravers.comI dance in my living room when no one else is home. I talk to myself when I'm driving. I wish I could write beautiful poetry. When I sing along with the radio, I feel famous. I love mornings, going to the movies alone, napping mid-day, cocktailing, talking in hyperbole, and wearing pink.
