About Me

I am friendly, a little on the shy side around people I don't know. I love to laugh, the bigger the laugh the better. I am honest and personable. I am the only person that I have ever heard of that is currently pursing a carrer in Acting and Drag racing. Acting and writing are what I set out to do because that is what I was born to do. Drag racing is what I grew up around watching my dad race every weekend. I loved watching and routing for him but when I turned 16 and my dad put me at the wheel of his 1,000 horsepower Chevy vega, I became hoplessly addicted. I have found so many similarities between drag racing and theatre and I think I'm the only one who will ever know. I have over twenty years experince in acting and currently race a rear engine Chevrolet Dragster

Yesterday and Tomorrow

Another year has been etched in the history books and from my own personal standpoint 2007 was a year of dire straights and break throughs. I was forced to sell almost everything I had left ...
