|   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.
