hello friends! it’s time again for my yearly “Top 10” blog where I talk about a few of things that stood out to me the most. like in 2015, this isn't exactly a “best" blog, but more of a “most memorable.” 2016 was a rough year for a...
greetings friends, ever since I started working on “Found in Kitsap” I’ve become more and more interested in 35mm film. there is something very special about the photochemical process. it’s a fascinating mixture of solar energy, organic material, and chemistry. the results aren’t always predictable and...
greetings friends, today I'm going to talk a bit about the realities of living & working as a creative. I use that word rather than "artist" because "artist" often feels like such a loaded word. to me, it conjures up beret-wearing, cigarette smoking, one-hour-a-day working painters…...
greetings friends! I hope January has been treating you well. it's been rather annoyingly warm and dry in Los Angeles. I know, I know...
hey friends, sorry for the delay in posting. I'd like to blame work, but I suppose the new "Call of Duty" video game is also partly to blame. so, after visiting Teal in Ann Arbor I went to NYC to hang out with my friends Troy...
greeting friends! last week I had the pleasure of getting to visit my sister in Ann Arbor, Michigan. it's been a while since I've visited a university campus, which was on one hand strange, and on the other very familiar. there's something exciting about...
greetings friends! happy to bring you my "top 10" list for 2012. like with my previous lists (2011, 2010, 2009), I don't limit it to one category or type of event...

hey friends, how are y'all doing? sorry I've been MIA the last few weeks. July was pretty crazy. lots of traveling, San Diego Comic Con, a bunch of writing, and a nice case of poison oak. I am going to do a SDCC blog...
hey there friends, this week I wanted to bring you some what of a "flashback" blog. instead of posting pics from a recent trip, we are going all the way back to the summer of 1999. *doodily doodily doodily doo* (that's supposed to be the...
howdy y'all, this last New Year's I was fortunate enough to go to New York City and visit my good friends Troy & Daisy (you may remember her from this interview). earlier this year they left Hollywood and headed to the "Big City" and this...
howdy friends, hope the new year is off to a smashing start for you. I'm on the tail end of a work trip that took me from Pheonix to New Orleans. I was hoping we'd end up somewhere colder, but hey I can't complain...

howdy friends! later today the producer of CERTIFIED, Kimberley Browning and I will be headed up to the Big Bear Lake International Film Festival. I've never been to Big Bear when it's not Winter or Spring, so this should be a fun trip just for...
hello hello, hope everyone is enjoying the first week of summer! here in Los Angeles it's finally starting to get hot. it actually rained a couple of times in June! *gasp* personally, I don't mind the slightly cooler weather. but I do...
Bonjour! ca va? I hope you are all doing well. earlier this week we returned from our trip to France. we had a great time visiting relatives in Assas for a couple days, then went to Cannes. wow, what a thing that...
