About Me

Well I am a young, working artist and student at Missouri State University. I will be celebrating my 6 year anniversary with my wife Mandy as of August 4th 2007. We met in high school at Parkview and the summer after my first year at SMSU we were married! Young and foolish I know, but we're very happy. I have a twin brother named Jeremy, that looks nothing like me and my friends make fun of me because I grew up here in Springfield and can't go to any public place without seeing at least two people that I know. While trying to get out of school, I am a working actor,writer, director, and special effects makeup designer with several credits to my name including local theatre, film, and television projects. I was in New York City a couple years back, where one of my scripts, Tinker Toys, won the Critics Choice award at the Samuel French Short Play Festival. But it wasn't published. Bummer. We were going to move to L.A. to start a career in film, but found out that we were having a baby! Our daughter, Layna Elizabeth Shelton was born on November 10th, 2007, and thus we put our plans on hold for a little bit while we adjust to family life. We couldn't be more excited, and still plan to move to L. A. after a brief layover here in the Queen City. I am working on a few film projects including the animated version of my script Tinker Toys with Knights End Films, as well as a zombie flick called The Dead Shall Rise, and a few shorts as well. I have partnered with good friend Adam Nolen and long time friend and mentor George Cron to create DreamHaven Productions. We are gearing up to produce our first feature film, Unspeakable this next year. We will be sending my original script as well as the film to festivals all over the world! ILife is busy as always, but things are looking bright!
