  • about me

bio-not-so-logical

i share a name with a famous astrophysicist, but my own physics career ended when i attempted to complete one class on the subject in undergrad. i've never stopped looking at the stars, though, because they sure are pretty,
those little ole' ​balls-o-light. 


before advertising, i did all kinds of crazy stuff, like managing a bar, and opening a restaurant in Virginia, and doing improv and acting in New York City. then i earned a master's degree from VCU Brandcenter and got a job as a copywriter at David&Goliath in LA. it's all been downhill since then.

when i'm not at work, or Costco, i'm editing my current documentary film project set in the Mojave Desert, or writing my next one. stay tuned. i live in Venice Beach like The Dude, and in my estimation, The Big Lebowski was accurate to the neighborhood, for what that's worth. cheers.
