CURRENT MISSION

My goal is to use couch surfing to help me find places to stay while I make independent documentaries.

ABOUT ME

After making a few short films, I completed my first feature documentary film in August of 2007. Now it's just a waiting game to see if I get in to Sundance/Slamdance/SXSW. My wife and I will be moving to Portland, OR in October and we are looking forward to a new adventure in that city.

PHILOSOPHY

Live for yourself but harm none along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A solo day hike in the Rocky Mountains was the most peaceful thing I have ever experienced. Once my eyes saw the beauty of a mountain lake I knew I had to leave Michigan for a state near the mountains.

Teach, Learn, Share

About all I know about is music and film. I could help someone learn those things given enough time.
