I was always directing; even back when I started on stage. I was always throwing out ideas. I just love creating stories and for some reason people would listen.
When not writing and directing, my bread and butter comes from acting and stunt work. I've been fortunate enough to be part of some amazing productions.
I'm a people person and I've met some great people along the way and made some great friends.
Don't give up. Listen to others, but follow your own council.
