1). I was born and raised in Southern California and absolutely love it here.
2). I come from a musical family and I in fact played the drums for about 8 years. I still love to play…just no place for a drum set at this point.
3). My brother was in “Blue Man Group” for 3 years and I made it to the last cut in New York on 2 seperate occasions. It didn’t pan out….but…what a great experience. Below is a picture of me during the last audition.
4). I was into every extreme sport that you could think of. I rode BMX bikes in a parade at Disneyland where I would do tricks on an off of a giant 80ft long moving float.
5). I met my wife Megan Dragon while working at Disneyland. She is a dancer and has had the opportunity to dance all over California, on cruise ships, at Tokyo Disneyland for a year and most recently as a Radio City Rockette for two years.
6). I love to travel, and I have been all over the US, South America, Europe, and Asia.
7). There was a period of time where I would throw myself off of buildings for money. Ok. Let me re-phrase that. I worked at Knott’s Berry Farm on the stunt team and performed in the Wild West Stunt Show in the Wagon Camp and also in “The Hanging” for the annual Halloween Haunt stunt show in Calico Square.
8). I got MARRIED on May 12th 2007 to my better half….Megan Dragon!
9). I LOVE to meet new people and am on a constant quest for new knowledge.
10). On Oct.15th 2009 my wife and I were blessed with identical twin girls. They have brought an amazing grounding and balance to our lives and can’t picture life without them. Here’s a picture of Madeline and Zoe.
11). I’m passionate about telling stories through filmmaking! I have had the opportunity to collaborate with MANY talented individuals and are extremely grateful for those experiences.
That’s enough about me! Tell me about YOU!!!
