Hello from the Land of Enchantment and the beautiful city of Albuquerque! As a veteran of the US Air Force and a 20 year software executive, I stumbled into a few opportunities in the film industry this past year. Since childhood, I have always found inspiration and maybe a bit of refuge through stories told on the "big screen." With the encouragement of a few friends and family, I decided a few months ago to pursue a third career in acting and screenwriting. Lucky for me, there's a ton of work going on here in New Mexico and I've been blessed to work on a number of opportunities. http://www.imdb.me/shadadair I have tons of networking to do and every day I look for new opportunities to build my skills while working at the craft. Lots to learn - but tremendous joy in the process.

Hi Shad, That is awesome news - glad to have read your story. Certainly inspirational to hear that you've decided to do this after 24+ years and still land nice gigs. That's fantastic. Looking forward to seeing you on a big screen. I'm a Senior Web Developer here at Stage 32 (and a Navy vet). If you need help with anything, hit me up.
Always great to connect with a fellow, Vet. Thanks for reaching out Tomasz.
