Born in North Carolina, I moved to Los Angeles in 1989. Upon arriving in L.A., I embarked on a career in the entertainment business. I soon transitioned into the art business as a fine artist, photographer, and jewelry designer. My photography and paintings have been shown worldwide and reside in important collections including that of Richard Weisman and tennis star Pete Sampras.
I developed and associate produced the television show entitled EDENQUEST: Pamela Anderson (1995), which sold to USA network and was shot on location in Tahiti. I hosted segments and worked in production on THE US PRO SKI TOUR (1995), DESTINATION PARADISE (1996), and many other TV specials, i.e. THE RACE TO ERASE MS (1995).
I appeared alongside Will Smith in the movie ENEMY OF THE STATE (1998, dir. Tony Scott).
I appeared in many TV shows and commercials, including a BUDWEISER SUPERBOWL COMMERCIAL (dir. Michael Bay). I was also the cover model for INSIDE SPORTS (1992) and as a result was featured on ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT, EXTRA, THE PRICE IS RIGHT, AND CATHY LEE AND REGIS, MARRIED WITH CHILDREN,VINNIE & BOBBY.
The allure of filmmaking reignited my educational path, leading me to The School of Cinematic Arts at The University of Southern California in Fall 2016. Despite being 50 years old, I embraced the opportunity as a non-traditional student, drawing from a reservoir of life experiences and wisdom to infuse depth into my storytelling. My personal narrative serves as a beacon of inspiration, illustrating that the pursuit of new dreams and aspirations transcends age barriers.
