About Me

I'm a partner/writer-director for Arsenal Entertainment , an action-based production company that is neck-deep in explosions and gun fire. We blow stuff up good, yes siree.

I like to make things run at 24 frames per second. I like putting words together good and stuff. I like sounds to be strung together so they form a lovely melody for several minutes.

I like taking meetings at studios and bartering lucrative deals. I dislike said deals collapsing on themselves. I enjoy the company of actors and hate L.A. trash.

I can make homemade tortillas.

High Fidelity YouTube Page!

It's randy (in that British adjective way. I don't know anyone named Randy.)
