About Me

Born in Pennsylvania and moved to Florida when in 1990. Lived in Spring Hill for fourteen years, where I completed grade school and met some of my best friends, including my fiance Judie. In 2004, I moved with Judie and my friend Jon to Orlando, where I attended Full Sail Real World Education and earned my Associate's Degree in Film & Video Production.We lived in Orlando for another year before personal reasons brought Judie and I to Tampa in summer of 2006. We have struggled since but still manage to push on. Now, we share an apartment with her uncle and I am in the works on trying to start up a small business with two friends.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Plenty of people I would love to meet. Of course, most of them work in the movies. Quentin Tarantino is on the top of my list. I would love to work on one of his projects, even if I am just a basic grip. Kevin Smith is right up there with Tarantino. Some actors I would like to meet and hopefully work with include Johnny Depp and Samuel L. Jackson, to name a couple. I am really not too specific. I would love to meet anyone who works in the industry just so I could hear their stories of work they have done. Oh...and Angelina Jolie...but that is for COMPLETELY different reasons.....

Music:

I am a massive fan of the Doors and enjoy some Pink Floyd every now and then. Other than that, my tastes generally run with rock and alternative: Aerosmith, System Of A Down, White Stripes, Cake, etc.

Movies:

Hells yeah....I DID go to film school. Let's see, some favorites: "Sin City", "Pulp Fiction", "Dogma", "Clerks", "Batman Begins", "Jurassic Park", "The Silence Of The Lambs", "Alien", "Dr. Strangelove", etc.

Television:

I haven't had cable for about a year, but when I go home to my parents', there are a few shows I try to watch: "Nip/Tuck", "Family Guy", "Lost", "The Simpsons", "Chappelle's Show".

Books:

When I can afford to buy them, I enjoy Michael Crichton, Stephen King, some Tom Clancy, and I am starting to read graphic novels, such as Frank Miller's 'Sin City' series.
