Several years ago, as I was transitioning from film finance to film production and writing again, someone asked me how long I would try to get back into filmmaking before I gave up? My response was "giving up" was not an option.

I've already made several friends-for-life from the latest movies I've worked on, and I know I'll make several more in the years to come.

The original Star Wars ("A New Hope") has had the greatest impact on me of all the films I've ever watched. It's really what sparked something in me to want to make movies.

You have to be willing to give it your all and sacrifice to make your dreams come true.

I wrote several screenplays over the years to really polish my craft and learn from my mistakes.

I found my father's Super8mm film camera when I was around eight years old and started shooting with it. I had no idea what I was doing at the time, but that's really where my filmmaking began.

For as long as I can remember, I've always had a wild imagination and always enjoyed reading and writing.
