KATANA - TV Pilot
I am a professional writer-director-actor living in the Seattle area. "Katana" was my Hollywood debut, a TV internet series pilot that premiered on STRIKE.TV January 7th, 2009. I also have 2 feature films with North American distribution to my credit, as well as multiple indie shorts and corporate commercials. I act as well.

My production company, Wok N Roll Productions currently has several other feature films in development, as well as other short films and writing projects.
I also dabble in music, playing guitar in the band Minos as well my own band, Plot Device .
AND, I have a tendency to make an ass of myself in public at the Kona Kitchen singing Karaoke. But hey, nobody's perfect.
Oh...one more thing, if you're wondering why I have a tendency to work on Asian-themed films, here's why:
My great-great-great Aunts married the Eng and Chang Bunker brothers, the famous Siamese twins written about by Mark Twain and found in the Guiness Book of World Records.
Eng and Chang didn't let 5 inches of shared flesh ruin a good time, pioneering 4-somes and interracial sex in the deep south at the height of the Civil War. They went on to have over 22 children, none of them 2 headed themselves.
So, I have some big shoes to fill (2 pair actually), so at times the pressure can be daunting. But I feel my connection to the twins is more than apparent (I was born under the astrological sign of Gemini - twins) so it's up to me to carry on our family's proud tradition of entertainment and womanizing. I'm doing what I can.
I'm also the resident Bar Philosopher and Dream Interpreter at the Kona Kitchen in North Seattle.
