About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am currently on a quest to drive a motorcycle around Lake Michigan. My Mom is scared, but i promised her i would try to stay alive.

ABOUT ME

: Being a dot-com casualty, I find that I have become jaded and disillusioned by this “Blessed” American way of life. And yet, being that this exodus of economic vitality has left behind a sea of boarded up commercial spaces, over-priced rents, and embittered people in its wake, I find that survival is still a necessity. I have persevered through my ability to adapt to publishers’ needs. I have written and/or shot for many great clients like NBC Olympics, Ford Sport Trac, Sega and Quokka Sports. While at Quokka, I worked on live web cast from Mount Everest, developed content for Mark Burnett’s Eco-Challenge (which received an Emmy Award), and produced entire websites for Vans Triple Crown, Iditasport (bike race following the Iditarod trail), and covered surfing in Antarctica, plus tons more.

PHILOSOPHY

When i grow up, i dont want a million dollars. I want a million experiencs
