About Me

Swimming into large waves of consequence with a camera on the North Shore of Oahu is one of the best feelings in the world. I moved from Hawaii to Newport Beach in the year 2000 to be a producer for BLUETORCH TV, and now I'm in LA writing features. LA can be an abrasive town.... But, I've met some amazing people. I've been fortunate to travel to Australia, Brazil, El Salvador, Fiji, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mainland Mexico, Nepal, Norway, Peru, South Africa, Tahiti and Thailand. I believe everyone should have the opportunity to travel -- the education received is invaluable. Plus, everyone should know what it feels like to find their way around and not speak the language. They'd probably be more patient with others that need help in the future. People everywhere pretty much want the same things in life.*** ADDENDUM ***9/20/07 I moved back to Hawaii to produce and direct one of my feature-length original screenplays called TRUTH OR DARE. Currently in development.***
