About Me


I'm from Fresno.
Sorry about that...it's where I was born.
I live in L.A. now with my beautiful wife and 3 spectacular kids.
I sold cookware at Home Shows all over America for 17 years.
Then, about two years ago, my son Julian asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.
I told him, "A performer".
He said, "well, why aren't you doing it"?
Smart-ass kid.
(I love that boy.)
So now I am back to what I love: acting.
Back in the day, at UCLA Theater and Film school, I was a big man. In fact, I was there with Jack Black...but really, what has he done lately?
Me, I took the detour to the finer things...cooking.
Shit. I just realized that was dumb to quit -- oh well, better late than never!
Final note...I love my life, I love my family and I wish you all my kind of success!!!
Peace to all who read this.
