About Me

"Stay in your own movie" - Ken Kesey. So, what do you want to know about me? I have a veracious appetite for good food. Love to travel. Always up for an adventure. I believe in Angels. I have 2 boxers, Calvin & Cleo and a horse named Boy. They keep me pretty active. I think they're my angels. Favorite time of day is 11:11. I believe in, "Ask, Believe and ye Shall Receive". I love my family and friends. I am a firm believer in taking mid-day siestas when possible. I try to surround myself with kind, upbeat, lively people. I've always enjoyed this quote, "Normal is not something to aspire to; It's something to get away from." - Jodie Foster~~ A little background story~~~ (okay, let's go waaaaaay back)... After H.S. I attended the Univ. of Bridgeport in CT for film production until the school went bankrupt in '91. Yes! Bankrupt! I found myself in Orlando, FL where due to an amazing coffee house, Java Jabbers I met some of the most terrific and artistic people in my life. That's right, you people are! It was difficult to leave behind, but I did in late '95. Moved back to New England and worked in NYC for 8 greuling months which proved to be hazardous to my health after an enormous block of ice fell from a 4 story building and cold clocked me on the head, laying me out on the corner of 57th & 7th. ((( phew ))) I took that as a "sign" to leave NYC and find work more local. Perhaps it was a sign that I should not have left Orlando. But I digress... so, I worked for two Multimedia/Internet Advertising companies while still pursuing a career in film production. After the net industry crashed in 2001 I seized to work in that industry again. I began working as a tutor/mentor for a young boy. Let's call him, "The Boy". This gave me a lot of time to Network and work with people in the Entertainment Industry, producing tv shows, Script Supervising for a few Indy films in NYC and Producing some local events here in CT as well. Combining my love for the arts and entertainment world and my drive and passion for law I am now pursuing a career in ... you guessed it ... Entertainment Law & Intellectual Property. Recently I've learned never to say, "What are the chances?"
