There is strength in compassion.

About Me

I love my life. I love my family and friends. I love my job. I write articles, web content, press releases and comic books. Work aside, I enjoy hanging out with peeps, cooking a good meal, reading, running and travelling. I'm currently writing The Occult Crimes Taskforce with Rosario Dawson (Sin City, Rent, Clerks 2, Grindhouse) and illustrator Tony Shasteen.CLICK HERE FOR INFO ON OCCULT CRIMES TASKFORCE THE MOVIE

My Interests

I like meeting new people, hearing strange stories and having a good time. I enjoy having new concepts/ideas thrown at me. Love a good discussion. Running, travelling, good food and being outdoors with friends are some of the greatest things life has to offer.

I'd like to meet:

Honest, enterprising, eclectic people. If you fit into one of those categories add me. I dig hot ladies as much as the next guy, but I'm not into collecting profiles of pretty ladies for my friends list. I dont hold beauty against anyone, but Internet rockstars need not apply.

Movies:

Too many so here's few: Rocky, Gladiator, Jerry MacGuire, Rosewood, the Ref, Sweet Home Alabama, Amelie, Imagine Me and U, Hong Kong Action, UK Crime, and 70s Blaxploitation Films.
