About Me


Up with humans!
I'm the co-founder of StrikeTV and movie nerd extraordinaire.
For as long as I can remember, movies have been my life. My mom was an animator on Scooby Doo and the Flintstones and showed me how to draw at a very early age. When I was 10, I was selling my drawings and flipbooks to the other kids at school. Not much has changed - except the drawings and flipbooks are now screenplays and movies.
I believe that movies and tv have the potential to enlighten and heal. They are part of the ancient tradition of storytelling that holds society together in collective dreams. They are the moral record and compass of our collective psyche. They are entertainment on the surface but play a much more important role.
Different cultures interest me. I love traveling. I also love discovering cool stuff in my own hood. LA is an amazing place and I'm grateful to be living here again.
