About Me

I’m a very creative person and very passionate when it comes to anything that has to do with expanding ideas.I wrote, directed and produced my first play in the fall of 2002 which I showcased around the New York City area for the next four years. During that time I published my first novel, the book version of my play A Gamble of Faith in the spring of 2004 and launched my website www.hobbcatpresents.com just shortly before that. The website features my work both written and film wise. I also got married to a wonderful woman, my wife Benereia, in October of that same year. I’m currently working on several projects including a new book and a play.What I love more than anything are movies. I have a huge collection at home and never tire of them. Since I was a kid I have loved horror films the most. Though I must admit much of today’s horror films don’t really scare me as much as the older stuff but they’re still fun. I’m really a huge Star Wars fan. So much so that I joined a group called NY Jedi back in November of this year. We get together to talk movies and fan films. We’re also training with light sabers for battles we intend to have in around the city. They’re a really cool group of people. Yes, I had to make my own Jedi uniform and own a blue light saber from Master Replicas which we fight with. If you like Star Wars and want to join and live in NY, they’re at www.NYJedi.com.For the most part I’m an easy going person. I tend to be a homebody, content to being at home with my wife and writing a lot but I do love to travel every now and then. If there’s something worth while going on in the city I’ll get up and go. When I do go out, I prefer lounges to clubs. When it comes to my work, I’m modest but I will talk about everything from conception to the finished product if you ask the right questions. My goal is to be a writer whose work can reach out and touch the masses. I write a little something for everyone. Hopefully, I will have something that I can pass on to my children and will stand the test of time for generations to come to admire and appreciate.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

If I could meet anyone, let me see, I guess I would like to meet Peter Jackson. I've liked all of his films, both strange and big budget. Would enjoy having a sit down to see how the man thinks.
