I'm an enthusiastic creator and promoter of original content. In College presently, I am rapidly gaining technical expertise and experience to take a project through to final production and release.
A few years back, I had one of my original screenplays advance to Independent pre production only to have Covid 19 wipe out the effort. I determined I should gain more experience in this complicated field.
I returned to school at Valley College to gain more experience and knowledge about production and creation of movies, television and theater.
With a background in business, I understand the importance of maintaining a budget, promoting good will with the talent and crew, maintaining Union Contracts and keeping investors and financial people in the know about the progress of a production.
Although my final working years were spent as a substitute teacher, I have a rich work history in other fields. I worked for seven years as a Social Service Worker for Riverside County Department of Social Services. After working counter sales in a retail tire company , I was promoted to work in Franchise maintenance and development. I was a contract administrator for Federal Accounts in a prominent computer company Four Phase Systems located on "K Street" in Washington, D.C. For several years I was a motorcycle courier and delivered the Congressional Record and Register to PACs, Law Firms and Governmental Agencies in the D.C. area in all weather conditions. I was also involved in the management and performance of my own musical bands over a twenty five year period. I was also a church musician and taught private lessons on piano, contrabass, and guitar. For a time I also worked as a "Corporate Head Hunter' placing engineers and experienced technical people in their respective industries.
