AN INCOMPLETE AND WHOLLY UNHELPFUL SKETCH OF ME
People tell me I've lived a lot of lives. The one constant between them is hot sauce. And getting in trouble. And my parents' hesitant support for the absurd twists it has taken. I've been a creative director, film director, horse wrangler, biotech equities analyst, documentarian, entrepreneur amongst other things I probably don't recall at the moment. I've been pretty good, occasionally really good, and often a spectacular failure. Now, I mostly write - scripts, commercials, sitcom development, and currently working on a novel. I'm in the DGA so I could direct some film for you, if you'd like. I also have my CFA, so I could probably help with your portfolio allocation if you aren't satisfied with your current mutual funds. I also didn't proofread this section. That's not an accolade, just a disclaimer. Right now, you're tired of reading this and I'm tired of trying to cleverly sum of 20 years of creative adventures, so mentally insert something about eagle hunters in Mongolia, living in NYC, Shanghai, and SF during Dotcom Bomb 1.0, the original. Feel free to ask me about any of my stories. And let's talk about creating some new ones together. CURRENTLY Living in Bozeman, MT.
