Born and raised in the Midwest. Likely I’ll die there too. In the meantime I’m in Beautiful Glendale California (more commonly known as The Jewel City).

A long time ago I dropped out of film school to get a more lucrative degree in journalism. One time I worked in archaeology. Another time I worked ropes courses and led desert hikes. For a while I worked in rural community development and grew a fondness for small towns. And quite a few times I toured in bands. All along the way I’ve worked in film, TV, public media and marketing. I produce, write, direct and edit.

I enjoy hiking, climbing, making pictures, watching pictures, writing music, gardening and falling asleep while reading.
