Half-Fu

I am a motorcycle riding, video game playing, kung-fu teaching, computer nerd. Ok, so the game playing has kind of gone by the wayside right now, but when the sun's out it's hard for me to stay indoors.

I am an extrovert that pretends to be an introvert when I think I can get away with it. Unfortunatly it's like telling a joke, I can only keep a straight face for so long.

If it wasn't for having to work 40 hours a week I'd probably be an exercise junkie. If I had my way, then training WOULD be my job.

Lover, fighter, student, teacher, hero, villain, philosopher, fool, and most recently gentleman and jackass...I've been called so many things I sometimes forget what face I'm suppose to have on. I am all of these and probably more. I accept my imperfections but deny my limitations.

I tend to over-analyze when I should be acting.

A few random interests include hiking, climbing, motorcycles (specifically my old Honda when it breaks down), martial arts, movies (see below), and knife throwing. Yup, that's right. I'm dangerous up to about 16 feet. After that you'll probably get hit with a handle. Painful, yes. Dangerous? Not really...unless I'm using the big blades. They'll probably knock your ass out. :-P

THERE'S MORE?!?!

Oddly enough I've been spending some of my free time helping with a couple independent film and video projects. I have no delusions of grandeur about my acting abilities, but I think the current projects have a lot of potential...not to mention they have been really fun to shoot. They are:

This is "a unique web video series" by Andy Coon. I won't go into detail, but there are a few short trailers available on YouTube. The one shown here is my favorite so far.

This has been the biggest production I have been involved in so far. It was written and directed by Micah Moore. You can read more about him and the upcoming movie here . The principal shooting is done and it's currently in editing. Here are a couple couple trailers from the stylized flick.

Dogs of Chinatown, second trailer (pre-ADR): ..

Dogs of Chinatown, first trailer (pre-ADR):

These first two clips are the trailers for The Key and Ninjas Vs. Pirates (NvP). Both were written and directed (and probably everything else) by my good friend Micah Moore. These were fun little projects. If you seach I'm pretty sure you can find both on the net. I know NvP is hosted on iFilms.

This next clip/trailer is from z13, directed by Voltron Jones. It's a pretty standard low budget zombie flick. I'm not sure if it will ever see the light of day, but it was fun to shoot. It's not everyday that I get to be a psychotic kung-fu mercenary.
