Hi Everyone, Just living the dream - writing screenplays, planning film projects - at least as much as I possibly can while juggling family, running a business, starting another, and remaining HAPPY. I am transitioning to become a full time creative and devoting all of my time to film (and family). I have an acting background - Studied acting with David Lehman, Francis Lederer, was accepted into The Lee Strasberg Institute in Los Angeles and studied at The Studio in New York with instructors from Julliard, NYU, and Yale School of Drama. My acting style and abilities have been compared to both Diane Keaton and a young Richard Dreyfuss and yes, I know that sounds weird. I have one screenplay in the hands of an agent at WME based on a recommendation and that's as far as I've gotten with the screenplays. Even though when I write and create projects I get that chill up my spine telling me that THIS IS WHAT I'M HERE FOR, I hesitated getting started because, well, everyone writes screenplays and who exactly do I think I am? No experience, few connections, and on an on. Then I thought, "Fuck it If you're not living it full out, what in the hell are you here for anyway?" So here I am. One step at a time. It's nice to meet you.

EXACTLY. You get to the point in life where you realize you really have nothing to lose in following your dream and **** anyone's opinion. That's how I felt. That's why I'm here.
