I have worked at a Tampa architecture firm in Ybor city called RBK Architects for the past six years. I built a computer network for the firm which I now merely oversee now that most of the daily responsibilities are held by my friend Travis G-Money. I produce corporate media productions for clients through GIZMO-VIDEO and freelance digital media productions under the name of WWW.ENOVACION.COM. I also compete in independant film competitions under the name LEFTOVER FILMS WWW.LEFTOVERFILMS.COM with world renown director Bryan Coward. Visual expression of ideas and concepts is my passion. Projects consist of corporate videos, information videos and music video productions as well as educational interactives and various other digital media such as cd-roms and promotional materials. Its about breaking ideas and concepts down to their most basic. I like simple clever ideas that provoke feeling and thought. I do my best to take it all in and be appreciative of what I am as I continue to persue what I yearn to become.
Obsession with money will stifle creativity. Being creative and never learning how to make a living at it is tragic. Somewhere in between those two scenarios, is where I want to settle in.
Don't get too cocky my boy. No matter how good you are don't ever let them see you coming. That's the gaffe my friend. You gotta keep yourself small. Innocuous. Be the little guy. You know, the nerd... the leper... shit-kickin' surfer. Look at me. Underestimated from day one. You'd never think I was a master of the universe, now would ya? -PACINO -"Devil's Advocate"
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

My Interests

Film and Video Production as well as art and creation of most any medium. Except for EXTREME AVANT GARDE crap......i.e. that artist that ate a bunch of paint then hung himself from the rafters and shat it out all over canvas that was laid out on the floor below.That art I dont like.Meaningful self expression is always interesting. I have been part of WWW.GALACORINA.ORG for the past 6 years. I enjoy painting, sculpture and drawing but digital media and video are my medium of choice.

MIXED IN to all this is a lil development project. Its an ambitious goal with significant rewards. More news to follow....

nATIONAL gEOGRAPHIC-LIONS

I'm a bit of a news and politics junkie===MSNBC, FOX, CNN, BBC NEWS(even though none of them are "fair and balanced") MICHAEL SAVAGE and GLENN BECK

Man these guys seem to know each other.....its such a small world isn't it?

Books:

Not much of a fiction reader although I enjoy SEAN EASTON ELLIS. J.D Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye" was a great one. Also enjoyed the absurdity of SAMUEL BECKETT i.e. "Waiting for Godot"All other reading is non fiction educational books. I.E.
CURRENTLY READING:
"Making Videos for Money"
"Beyond Selling"
"INFLUENCE-The Psychology of Persuasion"
"Pure Design"
"VOLTAIRES BASTARDS"
"cIGAR cITY mAFIA"
I also really enjoy obtaining information about things "they" dont want you to know about....like "How to operate and repair ATM machines" or "How to Create a New Identity" I'm so kidding about the ATM thing. Really I am.

Heroes:

Heroes?? Never really been rescued. Isnt that what heroes do? rescue you from something??Anyone who overcomes extreme adversity and discouragement and spits in the face of DOUBTERS and INSECURE HATERS while continuing to chase their dreams is my hero. I like to be inspired.....just as I try to inspire.
