About Me
I live in Belton Missouri, the suburbs of Kansas City. I've lived in the city too though, as well as a brief stint in Chicago and even a month in Paris.Anyhoo, I work at Starbucks, which sucks cuz I'm an avid coffee culture enthusiast but I've got bills to pay and so...
I'm a hopeless romantic commitaphobe. Don't know how better to explain my love life than that. Oh, and to say that I love my friends and family more than anyone in the world.I dabble in photography, acting, video production and music promotion/management.I'm a film school dropout, as of December of 2006. That same year though, I got involved in the local music scene and started a suito record label/production company called 'Second Floor Productions'. Didn't really do much with it in the long run but did put out Julian Summers' first proper release, the 'Just Let it Play' EP. This is the part where I'd link you to a place to buy said disc, but unfortunately, or fortunately really, we sold out all 100 handmade copies in just two weeks.After resigning from Columbia College in Chicago and traveling to Europe to clear my head and plan my next move, I opted to shut the doors to the second floor in favor of collaborating with my friends, Taylor Dunn and Christopher Turner at Pageant Records. Through many drunken, late night discussions, we decided that we wanted to be more than a record label, thus, the pageant coterie was born. You can read more about that at www.myspace.com/pageantcoterie or www.pageant-coterie.com. Christopher has since left us to pursue other artistic endeavors, but Taylor and I are keeping things going with help from our newest associate, Cory Vitt.Here lately, I've been laying low, artistically speaking, until such time as I take care of some old debts. I have though, begun work acting in a short film, which is to serve as a teaser for a feature length film, being produced by Gnarly Enterprises. Additionally, I wrapped a small role in a short film which will likely premier early this fall at the Kansas International Film Festival. I'll likely begin work on another feature being written for me to play the leading role along with Julian. In the mean time, check out my new favorite band, 'Making Beds' at www.myspace.com/makingbeds and come see us at the next show.
