One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many, where do I start...birth of my Nephew, graduating college at the age of 36, traveled many places on our planet... got spit on by a monk in Bangkok, hit with a wooden cane by an elderly hiker in Austrian Alps. Armed escort to the train station in the Fundmentalist parts of Upper Egypt. Got busted by the Mexican Govt for not having the proper visa...oops:( (man were they mad!) Sunrise on Mt. Sinai, both Giza and Saquara pyramids. Oh Gosh, it's endless, it's been such a fun ride so far!

Teach, Learn, Share

Anyone that knows anything I don't. Learned how to snowboard at the age of 30 and was then hired as a professional snowboard instructor for the past 16 years! Tutored literacy in my home town Jail for years, what an experience. Began filmmaking and moved to LA, studied film and now well here we are.
