Talent

Background Acting


I have appeared as a background actor (object, light blocker, partial body part) in countless numbers of low-budget films and commercial productions. One time I was actually featured.  One time.

Hobbies

Car Collection & Restoration


I’m currently restoring a 1889 hardware store that is attached to a 1940 John Deere dealership located in a small town called Stewart. Hidden inside these buildings are many automotive passion projects.

Featured Projects

Six teams were selected from around North America to fly to the island nation of Dominica to participate in a creative expedition.
