About Me

I try to be a Video Director first & foremost.
I make Films, Videos, Music Videos, Commercials, & some TV Shows,
while dabbling into photography & re-mixing music.
That's my day job.
When I'm not traveling on shoots or editing in the dungeon 14hrs/day, I am spending time with my family, or at a Starbucks, or at a park by my house riding Flatland on my BMX bike, listening to a remixed Beastie Boys or Public Enemy track on my iPod, convincing myself that I'm still 18 ;).

"What I really wanna do is direct"

and since I've already been doing that for about 20yrs,
I guess I'm on my way to figuring it out.

Welcome!
