About Me

I'm livin' my life from one locker room to another....I'm a proud Hockey Mom, not to mention baseball, lacrosse, snowboarding, skiing - whatever! Oh - and they're smart little cookies too!

I'm a freelance Public Relations Consultant in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis & St. Paul. I also follow my passion, writing and working in the film and television indstry. I've been blessed to have worked on several productions that have been brought to MN. I love independent film projects most because they seem to separate those that believe in the work - from those that just want to make money. There are no greater people to learn from than creative minds in touch with what matters in life.I just landed an exciting new scriptwriting project. It's a fabulous challenge and I LOVE IT! When I'm not behind the camera, I do a little acting in commercials, industrial films and even print work around town too. I enjoy the benefits of a completely ridiculous industry and hope to make a positive impact by only working on projects I believe in.NO MATTER WHAT - DO WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN!

Wine & Cooking

I'd like to meet:

Barbara Bush - I'd beotch slap her for having such a dumbass for a son
div

Music:

Bruce - My all time favorite - nothing beats a Springsteen concert and nothing ever will! Thanks for all the memories - 18 states, 3 countries and 100 + concerts strong!!!!
I love diverse music. Rock, Jazz, R&B, Garage Bands and yes, even some Rap. With my boys I've discovered some great current music - but I delight in knowing they love the old stuff too.

Movies:

All time favorite - "Breakfast at Tiffany's"
I love all kinds of movies and all genres. Movies that don't sell out - but make you think.
Recent films I've worked on were FACTOTUM and "Prairie Home Companion". Best acting gig ever was working with Meryl Streep as her stand-in. She is as gracious as she is talented - and Lily Tomlin is hilarious!!
Yes indeed, I was lower on the food chain than the stale crackers from craft services, but the experience working for Mr. Altman was worth every cent I didn't make.

Television:

HBO Rocks! 6 Feet Under * Deadwood * The Soprano's

Books:

Kitchen Confidential * My Dog Maynard
Good Night Moon

Heroes:

Bacchus - the God of Wine...need I say more?

Music - How has it helped you evolve ?

Music. It sort of defines who we are - at least it does at any given moment. For me I like all different genres. At different points in my life I have been attracted to different art...

Stabbing at the Mall of America - what did you do at 14?

Today at the Mall of America - in my humble home-town of Bloomington MN, two 14 year old girls got into a fight. Not just your casual cat-fight (which I admit can be awfully amusing). This one ...

A Pillow in the Road

I was driving to church on Sunday with the whole fam-damily. Out on the open road, gas-guzzling SUV and kids plugged in to their PSP's, when in between near orgasmic sips of Starbuck's...
