Don't forget your roots, but also don't rot.

About Me

They call me Taddy. I was born and raised in Pennsylvania, but I belong on the West coast. I study Film/Media studies/French at Penn State University. In September of 2006 I joined the Penn State Paranormal Research Society. I had thought about joining the French club or the comedy club but I decided to roll with the PRS. Of course I went with the most outrageous option and I couldn't be happier with my choice. When I joined the club I had no idea that producers were in the process of creating a reality series about the club. To my surprise I ended up being cast on a television series aired on A&E called Paranormal State. During this time I learned how to juggle filming a television show all while working a part time job and being a full time college student.Besides traveling around with a video camera, helping families and exploring the unknown I have many interests, ideas & dreams. I play bass in a musical project called Heavy Radio. Check out the tunes myspace.com/heathenandharlo & at myspace.com/heaveyradio. I enjoy a tasty array of instruments from the string family. When I was 11 my older brother introduced me to Jane's Addiction and I haven't been the same since. I've listened to the same bands since 4th grade. I want to write music for horror movies. I like the experimental filmmaking approach. I want to create music videos from the inner workings of my mind. I plan on designing a clothing line in the near future. I love inspiration and I find it everywhere I wander. I laugh too much. I follow old school ways which leave me completely stuck in another lifetime. I love creative people who possess outrageous style & humor. Gwen Stefani is my idol and I am a HUGE No Doubt fan... Eel Maid played live at the United Way Battle of the Bands 2007
