About Me |
|
| About Me: well I was born and raised in San Antonio's Westside. I come from a middle class family that worked hard to put all of its kids through college. I have six brothers and sisters. Three are my adopted cousins but that has never been an issue.
I graduated form St. Mary's University here in SA. I studied for two summers in Innsbruck, Austria (I can order beer, ask for the bathroom, say three cuss words, and ask for something else in German( Blodes arschloch, Scheisse and Willst Du ficken oder was?).
Right out of college started working for Nielsen Media Research. Did that for about eight years untill I found my calling in FILM.
I left a comfy job with a BIG steady paycheck, company car and expense account to work my way through the production field.
I've worked on several major/and small films that have been shot here but at that time San Antonio didn't really have a steady film industry (it still doesn't but it's gettin better).
About five years ago my brother and I started a webdesign and marketing firm which has kind of evolved into a small ad agency.
I am still very involved in the San Antonio Film Scene. I've produced or directed five shorts in the past three years. With my latest "Encore" winning the SA 48Hr Film Expierence. Currently it is making it's way in the film festival circut.
I am currently in production of a documentry and will soon shoot my first Spanish language short "Silencio"
And that is a short over view of me.Some Pics from Hawaii... More to come....Myspace Contact Tables I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts! |
