My default attitude is "too cool for school". However, when I do
take an interest in something, I generally do a 180 degree turn to
madcap enthusiasm. I have been known to hop up and down and flail
my arms madly in delight.
A lot of my life has been defined by a love for cinema. Ever since
I first saw "Star Wars" and "The Empire Strikes Back" in a 1983
double feature at the age of four, I have been passionate about
telling stories. I think I've developed a certain talent for the
artform, too. Right now, I'm working on some projects to try to get
made into feature films, because it's something far too important
for me to let slide. The big project at the moment is a twisted
thriller, though there's also a horror/comedy TV show (for which I
directed a pilot presentation) that we're trying to get picked up
by somebody, somewhere.

A friend and I own and operate a small video production company. To
keep a roof over my head, I'm an assistant editor at Film Garden
Entertainment in Van Nuys, and I write/direct/edit video greeting
cards for Rattlebox.com. The big goal is to be directing
independent films.

You're a big fan of freedom of expression, sarcasm, iconoclasm, and
examinations and expressions of evershifting perceptions of
