About Me

Who am I?
I was born in '73 in New Orleans, Louisiana. I grew up in Slidell (wiped out by Katrina), moved to Lafayette in ..78, and to Michigan in ..02. I have been involved with theater and stage my entire life, be it through community plays, studying, coaching, producing short films, documentaries, etc... I enlisted in the Navy in 1991, but due to serious injuries and a following medical discharge, went to college instead. I studied Theater and Drama at University of Southwest Louisiana for two years, then (because I needed money too badly to continue) worked as a carpenter from 1993-2000. I have since returned to college and graduated from University of Michigan with a BA in History.
Currently, I am living in Eastpointe Michigan, working as a plumber, and doing independent work on film production, helping with screen writing workshops, and whatever else comes along. As for the future, who can ever say what mysteries and rewards await us in that great beyond? I can say I look forward to finding out, but beyond that is for God to decide and me to discover.
Here is out latest short. This was spear-headed by my best friend, Cate Caldwell of SoJo Films. I am proud to say I helped make this one happen.

My Interests

This about says it for me.

I'd like to meet:

If I had to choose one person, it would be Chris Nolan. If I were allowed two, Chris Nolan and Kevin Smith. Beyond that, I could never list them all without forgetting a few... and that would just be unfair.

Music:

and here are the pictures.

Movies:

Hmm ... you name it and I will tell you if I like it. FAR too many to rattle off, though.

Television:

I hate television. It is a wasteland for the brain and gets crooks elected so they can steal from us and try harder to ruin our lives just that much more.
But here is something I don't hate:
My Wife and me

Books:

Ishmael, History Text books, News Periodicals, tech manuals (yes, you read that right), news papers any time they get too close to me, Emerson/Thoreau, online news stories, political humor from all sides of any kind, and just about anything that tickles my funnybone or teaches me to do something new or to do something better that isn't.

Heroes:

Anyone that has ever stood against what they thought was wrong, even though it was generally accepted as right by 51% or more of the population. Anyone that knows laws were written by men, so therefore imperfect. Anyone that questions authority and refuses to let their morality take a backseat to their popularity.
ANYONE that does this is my hero. Also, Randi Rhodes, Cindy Sheehan, and Mike Malloy. Period.

My Blog

a question for you ...

So over the last year, there has been a group in this area that has been greatly taking advantage of people. Now, this does not really affect me, except that I know many of the people being used...

Seriously, what good are they?

So 2006 comes along and our disillusioned electorate decides to vote in a whole slew of Democrats because they are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Nice move, but worthless. First w...
