I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I co-founded a communications semiconductor company a few years ago, the main focus being DSL and wireless applications. Recently (like 2 weeks ago) I decided to give acting a try on a part-time basis. I've been working with a friend of mine, Lewis Smith, who has starred in over 30 films and now runs the Actors Academy (www.actors-academy.com). It's the best class in LA if you are serious about getting into the business. So far it's been pretty fun and mostly a nice change of pace. Surfing is the other main hobby, been doing it since I moved to California in high school.

My Interests

Surfing and acting.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone interesting.. sense of humor is a must. Bonus for those with a good dry wit.
