About Me

A recently retired Sailor (21-plus years!) living in the desert, I'm now working for the U.S. Army full-time as a civilian and having a great time shooting movies (as an extra, right now) in my spare time.Not too long ago, I filled three very different supporting roles in the Scottsdale Desert Stages Theatre production of "Gypsy". There was a LOT of talent in the cast! They were so much fun and veyr easy to work with; I'm looking forward to doing more productions with them in the future.I did four shoots for "The Kingdom" while they were in the Valley of the Sun in 2006: in the opening moments (wounded by a suicide bomber, then killed by a car bomb), as a driver for some highway scenes, and as a corpse being fingerprinted by the absolutely charming Jennifer Garner (on whom I got to play a practical joke). The last day of shooting (Oct. 8), we re-did some long-distance shots of the softball game that opens the movie. It was supposed to open April 13, but got pushed back to the end of September.In July, I had fun playing a zombie in the indie flick "Life Room", and then took an eight-week voice-over class with the thought of getting into that medium eventually. I enjoy doing different voices and accents (I read many books to my son! *smiling*), and would love to branch out into cartoons or commercials.Shortly after, I did my first voice-over work: narrator for a documentary about a reptile sanctuary here in Phoenix. I read the piece in several different accents (British [the more refined east London dialect], Southern U.S., and my natural Midwest "non-accent"). In February, the producer had me read two more segments. I'm told she'll use my natural tones. Check out their page at www.myspace.com/reptilesanctuary!

My Interests

Sports ... reading ... movies (watching, as well as being in them *grinning*) ... working out ... so much more! Ask me; I might tell you.

I'd like to meet:

You, if we haven't met yet. I love meeting people. If we HAVE met already, stop by and say Hello!

Music:

Just about anything but rap -- and even that, if it's funny. My tastes are eclectic.

Movies:

Again, just about anything. But if I must list favorites ... in no particular order: The Godfather (I and II); Get Shorty; The Fifth Element; Raiders of the Lost Ark (and I.J. & the Last Crusade); Pulp Fiction; Six-String Samurai; Field of Dreams

Television:

Law & Order; Everybody Loves Raymond; Forensic Files

Books:

Too many to list!

Heroes:

MY SON. Because I see him only every other weekend (though I'd love more time), I treasure every minute we have together. With him, I can see through the eyes of a 9-year-old boy; he teaches me so much about himself, about Life, and even about myself. I think I learn as much from him as he does from me.
