I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I was suckered into this shady world of shadows by my lovely, yet abusive, wife, with promises of frolic and fun. So here I am. In all my hairyness. Come and take me. I know you all have plans to molest me. But I am a man who likes kitties, and I will cry. So watch out!! I am an actor living in Los Angeles, which I suppose is the same thing. I'm fortunate to be in an incredible theatre company in Hollywood, working with an amazing group of talented, passionate actors, at a place called Theatre of NOTE. A place I now call "home":) And you can too! Come check us out, it's inspired stuff.Despite much disgust in the goings on of the world these days, I find solace and joy here in La La Land thanks to my time spent with my beautiful and talented wife, our loving kitties Moz and Willow, our stuffed animal, "Beary," and our growing list of wonderful friends. Thank you wife. Thank you Moz, Willow, and Beary. And thank you friends, old and new, and even the ones I haven't met yet. You know who you are. Pervs.Here are a few things you should know about me:It's Mac, not PC. It's Coke, not Pepsi. It's shirts, not skins. It's cats, not dogs. It's Cheech, not Chong. It's tofu, not steak. It's vanilla, not chocolate. It's rum, not gin. It's movies, not books. It's bars, not clubs. It's Beatles, not Stones It's saving, not spending. It's pepper, not salt. It's carrots, not peas. It's beans, not franks. It's hella, not wicked. It's boxers, not briefs. It's showers, not baths. It's cold, not hot. It's wheat, not white. It's Love, not war.

My Interests

My wife, friends, acting, music, movies, theatre, making up stupid songs on the ol' guitar, facial hair, baseball, basketball, road trips!, longing for simpler childhood memories, kitties, and my wife. Also, my wife.
