Driven by an independent spirit and a need for creative outlets, I have traveled throughout
America and Europe studying and observing artists of a variety of genres. Apprenticed to renowned
architect Carroll Ishe as a boy, I then studied architecture and woodworking in California. Then to
Italy to assist photographer Filippo Occhino for three years as his assistant in Milan. When I
returned to the states, I dealt in abstract art, based in Ocean Springs Mississippi, traveling up
and down the east coast selling the art to galleries.
Back in California, I returned to woodworking, creating custom furniture and installations in the
L.A. and San Francisco areas. After a sortee into finance as a broker and investment banker, I came
back to my roots in the south, and returned to a lifestyle that allows me to enjoy my two great
passions, woodworking and photography/film making.
I currently run a custom lumber mill where I collect rare woods, primarily Southern. This is what
pays for my current endeavors. Prospective buyers come from all over the world to choose wood for
their projects.
I have been making machinima (movies made on a computer) for the past six years, some of which have
qualified for national and international film festivals, including the 2010 Shanghai Worlds Fair at
Shangri La. I currently have couple thousand short films on Vimeo and YouTube – please take the
time to view some of them - and let me know what you think!
