About Me

I'm a director/dp living in Birmingham, Alabama. I like shooting tv commercials and docs and I love travelling. I've been fortunate to have visited Australia, Egypt, Hawaii, Jamaica, Mexico, and all over US. I love sailing, motocross, hiking, camping and of course the 'ol spending time with the family. I also like flowers and doggies.... My most recent love for a spectator sport is MMA (mixed martial arts ala UFC) and I also just began taking Karate with a bunch of kids who are above my skill level.

My Interests

Film, Photography, Travel, Sailing, Mixed Martial Arts, Karate, anything outside in the woods or on the ocean.

I'd like to meet:

Other people in the film (commercials and docs) industry and travellers. Folks into martial arts and mma, especially in the south. I just secured the domain name: southernmma.com, if you are interested in contributing please drop me a line. Anyone who could use a photographer or director! If you need an AD for a deal, let me know. I'm trying to build an AD reel...

Television:

Mostly sports and cartoons. In order of pref: MotoCross, UFC (Mixed Martial Arts) and hours and hours of Tennis! Otherwise: Simpsons (of course) King of the Hill, Globe Trekker, Anthony Bourdain, Scrubs, The Office. Guilty Pleasures are Dog the Bounty Hunter and Extreme Makeover Home Edition.... Almost any documentary work. Eveyone should check out Current (it's a television channel on DirecTv and some other cable providers).

Books:

Fast Food Nation, The Poet of Tolstoy Park (Read This, especially if your not too cynical yet!). I read The Illuminatus Trilogy and Cosmic Trigger about 10 yrs ago, it was fun but won't do it again. Robert Anton Wilson is pretty cool, though.

Heroes:

Disabled Athletes and people who are more selfless than me. Specifically Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah and Jim MacLaren. Mike Vallely is an awesome and spiritual athlete. Check out his doc/tv show "Drive" on Fuel.... My Wife Paula.
