Film
I was a film producer in animated and live action films for Saban International, Paramount, POW Productions, and Various other independent entertainment organization before finding lending. I love creating and discussing film and enjoy recollecting fun moments in film with those with like minds. Being around film makers has rounded my creative side, and being a lender has rounded my analytical side making me as a good conversationalist and I usually bond with all types of people. I have actors and entertainers in my immediate family and that is a nice conversation piece if they recognize my last name.
