About Me

Design Yout Globe---------------------------------------------------- painfully eclectic ...............................................so let's see, in just over a 1/3 of a century i have - run a special effects prop and model studio, studied to be a interpreter at the un, studied kung-fu and tai chi and ba'gua and shotokan and hapkido,had a moderately successful acting career in new york and los angeles, felt the touch of something greater then myself, interned at a democratic congressman's office as a republican, worked as a carpenter's assistant, a massage therapist, and a casting director, fell in love twice and had my heart-broken daily, waited tables and bartended, moved to milan to be a house-brother and care-giver for my sister and niece and nephew, produced and wrote some short films and written a few plays, stage managed Gay Games New York, driven cross-country 4 times, believed in universal goodness and absolute evil, played 'summertime' on my trumpet 645 times just to cheer myself up, marketed films and television programs, cried and yelled and thrown enormous tantrums (both merited and petulant), painted some really lame paintings, played videogames until my eyes hurt, watched television proudly and joyfully, and smoked marijuana unabashedly..... in short, it's a full life - with lots of mistakes and lots of disasters, but an enormous amount of joy and humor. if you want more, just look around - i got crannies tucked in some weird nooks on here.......................or you could just ask, i'm told i'm relatively docile when approached gingerly ..
