About Me

Thanks for checking out my page. I love meeting different types of people and networking, so feel free to add me and say hi. It may take me a while to reply, as I work very hard at running my business, Creative Media Arts. CMA is the parent company for RetouchMyHeadshot.com , offering photography, graphic design, and retouching, and Om Pacific Greeting Cards . Some of my photography is used in making Om Pacific greeting cards if you want to check it out.
I am creating another very exciting website in an attempt to bring together the spiritual/environmentally conscious community on the web with a learning center, directory, and social networking site.When I'm not working I try to be creative as much as possible. I love taking long hikes and photographing the local beaches & mountains. I also occasionally do some acting and write music.

My Interests

meditation, acting, guitar, art, photography, writing, hiking, photo retouching, surfing

I'd like to meet:

artists, inspiring, down to earth, spiritual and funny people.

Music:

I'm all over the place when it comes to music. If its good, OR you worked really hard making it, I'll appreciate it. Lately I've been listening to Band of Horses, Light Chemist, Ben Harper, Niladri Kumar, Devendra Banhart

Movies:

Film is one of the most influential art forms to me. I've worked in the business off and on for years as a producer, actor, and post production studio manager. I love the fact that you can entertain AND educate people with it. It even smells good! A few of my many favorites: The Player, Swimming with Sharks, Belle Epoch, Endless Summer II, Men Who Ride Mountains, Big Wednesday, Cinema Paradiso, Roman Holiday, Mr. Roberts, Rashamon, Pulp Fiction, The Reluctant Saint, Brother Sun Sister Moon, Munich, Manon of the Spring, Apocalypse Now, On the Waterfront

Television:

NBA (I'm a huge Laker fan), Curb Your Enthusiasm, Flight of the Conchords, Madmen, Big Love

Books:

Some favorites: Think and Grow Rich, Life of Pi, Autobiography of a Yogi, Bhagavad Gita, The Wild Trees, America at Night

Heroes:

Honest people (like my friend Jen), Buddha, James Braddock, Dale Carnegie, Yogananda, my parents, people who use will power to attain success, people who do the right thing instead of taking the easy way out

My Blog

I'm not a real blogger.

I erase my blogs. Is that cheating?
