He majored in religious studies, but it was his minor in film that set his life’s course. Starting out with an old 16mm Bolex, he set out to shoot his first documentary in India years ago only to have the authorities confiscate all his film and get malaria to boot. Coming up the ranks through cable access, so he could edit for free, he shot a variety of shows like the “Democratic Convention”, “USA Volleyball” and a show for men called the “The Bull Moose Club” way before the “Man Show” was ever a glint in Jimmy Kimmel’s eye. Add to this a plethora of shows that never made the big time or much money and you can understand why he left filmmaking to get a “real” job in academia for a few years. Those were dark times but he came out of there with a renewed spirit and enough money to shoot a feature length movie called “Sirens of Seduction”, a politically incorrect story about the last private men’s club in town. Even though it played well on cable and sold enough foreign territories to make a profit, he never saw much of it after the Hollywood accountants tallied up the score. So what to do? A fun little project called “Dream Girls on the California Riviera” caught the attention of Playboy and late night cable and the rest was history… or at least for the next 5 years of his life anyway. They bought everything he could shoot, edit and put in the can until, like all things, it just ended one fine day. A free man, he hit the road to see what else life had in store for him and landed somewhere in Asia. Shooting wherever his odyssey took him, resulted in several more documentaries like, “The Last Temptation in Thailand” and “The Last Road to Cambodia”. In the end he ran into a little trouble with some local mafia types who had the local authorities in their back pocket ready to lock him up and had to high-tail it out through a back door to Laos before he ended up in an episode of “Locked Up Abroad” or worse. Safely back in the USA he had to cobble together some money to make, yet, another stab at the bright lights of Hollywood. Wrapping a music video one fine day, the real reason he was shooting just hit him out of the blue, as in all things, it was the journey, the odyssey. He thought about all the misfits, dinosaurs, has-beens, bad guys, and even a cool guy once, not to mention the beautiful ladies he’d mixed it up with to shoot over the last twenty years or so and, voila, a project was born, “Shooters” - the journey behind the lens; and that is the story he just wrapped last year that is playing on Amazon and Tubi. His next move is to concentrate more on writing with more projects like a script he wrote a few years back, "Pirates, Bastards and Gold" and his current writing project about the missing years of Jesus titled, "Jesus on the Road".  Life goes on.
