CURRENT MISSION

Looking for creatives in the film and special effects industries in Los Angeles, CA to give me a place to rest my head while I work my tail off to get a job immediately. I have some contacts but do not want to call on them until I get out there.

ABOUT ME

I am a driven creative individual with 2 1/2 years production experience in Seattle, WA. I just graduated from The Art Institute of Seattle and then moved to Wichita KS, where my mother lives, in order to devise a plan to get to Los Angeles to further develop my skills. Thus far I have achieved one feature film in post and another in pre-production. I'm easy going, enjoy humor, not into drugs, occasionally a few beers, non-smoker, pets adored! Would love to find other creatives who want to collaborate and knowledge share.

PHILOSOPHY

I think about what Woody Allen said, "If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative." So I think about the "impossibilities", I try new things and push myself farther than most I know.
