So, the bio?

Born and raised in San Francisco, I've been Illustrating, mainly as a cartoonist, then I fell into the lucrative money pit known as animation and I've been at it for the past 14 years as an animator/designer on hundreds of commercials as well as a prop and background designer for a few series.

Then 2000 it, and with it, the economy. So... I've been a caterering waiter and bartender, an undercover op for a detective agency, a puppeteer for the San Francisco Opera.

I've been a screenwriter ("Amityville 5, It's About Time" and "Amityville 6, A New Generation" with the lovely and talented Chris DeFaria) and have worked on a few other sci-fi/horror scripts on my own as well as a few television series pitches I'm working on. More later.

Me personally? So far... Dark humor. Intelligence. Passion. Artistic flair. Curiosity. Ability to talk about anything from science and politics to gossip and personal scandal. Caring. Wicked. I perfer vintage to new, non-mainstream to first run, used bookstores to Borders, conversation to anything else. I can talk to anyone, relate to anyone.

I've always been attracted to the weird, the ghostly. Legends. Pits of hell and wandering spirits. I'm a reader of any conspiracy theory but believer of few. Go with what you love.

So, I'm an optimistic pessimist. Light and dark. Good and wicked. Saint and sinner. Nice but not.
