About Me


Failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!


Lets see. . . I enjoy designing set and lights for theatre and film.


I've worked with numerous professional, community, nonprofit, and children's theatre companies, as well as film and music production companies in a variety of venues. I attended Grand Valley State University where I received a degree in communications, with an emphasis in theatre design and production. I received two Kennedy Center - American College Theatre Festival Certificates of Merit. I was also a three time recipient of the Shakespeare Scholarship and a two time recipient of the Shakespeare Service Award. I have worked with various haunted attractions for the past six years. Beginning as a make up designer for 'The Haunt' in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In 2004 I went on to work with various haunted attraction design companies, such as Hauntech and Stuartizm Designs, LLC. In the summer of 2005 I moved on to work with the Atmosfearix team in the Bay Area of California. After a brief hiatus home to Michigan I am back in the Bay Area once again and as always I am continuing my pursuit to understand humanity and answer the ever unanswerable question:
"What does it mean to be Human?"


Tragedy is when I get a hang nail. Comedy is when you are walking down the street and fall in a manhole and die. - Mel Brookes




I know that
You Believe you
Understand what
You think I said,
But,
I am not sure
You realize that
What you heard
Is not
What I meant.


Just because you're Paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.


When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all. -God (Futurama)

Okay, try this. . . the last quiz no one got a question right. . . this one I made easy for those of you who are not so much good with the observations:

My Interests


AtYourSpace.com


Hmmmm. . . Interests, I'm a varitable fountain of interest! My main hobbies include Theatre, Film and Haunted Attractions. Beyond those three I ENJOY a good Drink and can almost always be found with some sort of "adult" beverage in hand. ^_^


I also love to go out to the clubs and enjoy a night on the town. Sometimes the nights are the ones that start Friday night and end Monday morning.

Be Obscene clearly - E.B. White


Intellectual curiosity and an appreciation for a fine booty are not mutually exclusive. . . - Orlando Jones, The Evidence






I'd like to meet:

Hmmm, I would really like to meet myself. Nothing better than getting an outsiders perspective on yourself. It would be interesting to see what others see about me. I'd love to see what kind of bastard other people think I am. Probably, nothing good would come of it. . . I'd just end up being even more self loathing. . . but that's life.


Beyond that, I love meeting cool people who have brains and aren't afraid to use them. Intelligent conversation is a passion of mine. I don't care if you agree with me or not, you can stand for everything that I'm against, just argue with me. And by argue I mean debate. The instant you start screaming I'm done. SO come on, lets have an arguement!


And we can have that Arguement Right now! ^_^


We should have a
great many fewer
disputes in the world if
words were taken for
what they are, the
signs of our ideas only,
and not for things
themselves.
John Locke, Essay on Human Understanding

Music:

Fist off is it music? Second does it sound like music, or is it a big cacophonous noise? If it is then it's probably not music.
"If two people know the same things . . .one of you is unnecessary." - Tom Waits on NPR


"We come from people who brought us up to believe that life is a struggle, and if you should feel really happy, be patient: this will pass."-G.K.

Movies:

Movies, HMMM, Have there really been any good movies out in theatres lately?
I work in the horror regions of film mostly, but I haven't seen much that I'd say was a wonderful film lately. Give me Hitchcock anyday!



AND FINALLY, THIS IS A MOVIE I'M IN. . . IT ONLY TOOK YOU 5 YEARS CHUCK! ^_^

Television:

House M.D., The West Wing, STAR TREK, Boston Legal, the new Battlestar Galactica, Buffy, Smallville, Stargate, Monk, The Simpsons, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Futurama, Family Guy, The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report.
Beyond that History Channel Kicks ass! Mythbusters, when I was in San Francisco I was across the bay from where they do a lot of stuff.
I think that's it. . . those of you that know me really well, let me know if I've left anything out. . .

Books:

Books Rock! I'm really into books that delve into the sociological construct of the American psyche.
Oh Yes, my friends, I am a great sociology geek! That being said. . . I really like Douglas Adams

And H.P. Lovecraft

Heroes:


You may die in fourty years or in fourty seconds. - A. Einstein
- If we are to learn anything of the value of "Star Trek," it's that the universe is filled with vastly different styles of foreheads-
