THE REBIRTH OF COOL

About Me

I'm from San Jose California. I even though I currently live in LA I'm always going to be be a Bay Area boy. When I was active in the Marines I lived in San Diego for about four years. After I was discharged from the Marines I moved to North Hollywood to pursue acting and it's been going pretty well. I'm currently taking acting classes,auditioning and I just started doing stand up comedy which is a different monster but I'm learning alot. When I'm not at school I hang out at the poetry lounges in LA. I write alot of poetry, I'm currently working on writing a few movie scripts, I also write music any type of music. I work out 5 days a week running ,or the gym, I love anything that sounds exciting sky diving, rock climbing, motor cycles, comedy clubs, traveling, working with kids. In the past had trust issues so I really don't have many people I call my friends,but I am working on that. I read a quote one time that said" who ever has the most friends in life wins" . I never really understood that comment until I moved to Hollywood. The majority of people I've been around are so caught up in the LA life style that they start to forget whats really important. I was just as guilty so I decided to take a step back to figure out how to be a better person for myself and for other people that are in contact with me. It's difficult to make good friends out here in this industry but it's not impossible and right now thats all I'm really trying to do. Before anything else can happen friendship has to be the foundation. A foundation that I so often look passed when I seen a pretty face. Well let me get off my soap box , I don't want to scare anybody away. But this is me I'm honest, I'm very passionate about the things I do and the things I say. And most important my heart is always in the right place. So if you're intrested in getting to know me and being friends cool. If not then I guess we're both missing out.
