As a filmmaker, I have worked as a grip for numerous independent films and have written and directed several short films that can be seen on the internet. I am influenced by everything that surrounds my life. Family, friends, and work. One of my motivation that keeps me wanting to be creative is the need to feel accomplished. I love the surreal feeling when I have a finished product in my hand - something that I have created from scratch - whether it's a film or a book.
