Tell us about yourself:

Education:

BFA at Art Center College of Design--LA
MFA at American Film Institute--Cinematography

Work experience:

13 years experience in Hollywood with credits in some major films, but most work done in independent films all over the planet...non-union

Last years have been spent as caregiver to parents...both recently passed...dad from Alzheimer’s, mother from lung infection and dementia...tragic to experience death...of the people you love and honor…

In Fresno to regroup and focus on the future...may return to Hollywood in one or two years...I have high level connection in the business from AFI—Darren Aronofsky, Doug Ellen, Mathew Labitique...but have not exercised them yet...in the mean time let’s make some films...I'm here to keep producing, writing, and shooting...right now I need several actors for some videos and stills…can you give me information on the best source in Fresno?

I'm in Fresno to relax for a little while and get my life back together...and besides that...its my home town...and Yosemite is my favorite place in the world.

Best wishes…call anytime and email me at anytime...
