About Me

i produce television programs, and am currently working on the new series "csi lies: forensics on trial" with towers for msnbc.

i used to live in los angeles, but chicago is my home for now. it's a trade off: the weather, beaches, and industry of los angeles are amazing, but the sports, city and people of chicago are impossible to beat.

My Interests

dancing in supermarket aisles
wrigley field
notre dame football.
making people laugh at second city chicago.
lovely people with wicked senses of humor.
writing books.
travelers, nomads, anyone or anything with personality

I'd like to meet:

do you think there's a chance he's single? the shower scene about five seconds in is so choice, but even better is the scene where he's running through the forest preserve. reh dogg, are you casing out my house? because i hear your voice in my dreams. my sweet, sweet dreams.

Movies:

reservoir dogs, true romance, american psycho, blow, the departed, goodfellas, garden state, capote, american history x, only you, the devil's advocate, primal fear, little miss sunshine, abre los ojos.

Books:

are my heroin.
in cold blood, a heartbreaking work of staggering genius, the great gatsby, no exit, paradise lost, man eater, literacy and longing in la, the prince of tides, beach music, the great santini, the audacity of hope, and the list goes on and on.

Heroes:

my mom and dad.
my dog.
cher.
gilda radner.
batman.
and of course, THE BEHR.
