The following "brief" description of experiences depicts a path I chose to follow and am still following... to work in as many departments of film production as possible.  Why?  So when I direct and produce I know how my crew feels, operates, what they need, and how they communicate.  I've been fortunate enough to learn from some of our industries finest... the following are some of my "classrooms".  Any word in a different color and underlined will lead you to that place so click away.

I've also been the photographer on many sets and in life, too.
