MY STORY
I grew up with USC dreams and a camera in my hand until at fifteen, the call to make Rock and Roll lovingly lulled me away. Rocking the stage in leather pants and mountains of hair, but still wanting a foot in the film world, my day gig was learning the ropes in front of the camera as a union Extra/day player in hundreds of TV shows and dozens of movies. I got to watch Zemeckis, Tarantino and others in action as I started to soak up the craft from the sidelines. I ultimately felt the call back to film and moved behind the camera starting as a PA, working my way up through every department including Art, Casting, PC, PM, 2nd AD, AD, Producer and then Director. I wrote and directed my first short, "Rocco & Vinnie" in 2003, took it to fests and haven't looked back. My first feature was picked up by NETFLIX in 2008. That film and my second feature "In The Dark" (2015) were both distributed by Gravitas Ventures...and they both made their money back. I am always writing and developing new projects and looking to meet new collaborators.
