Click on the pictures to enlarge. Most of this website is about me, so I won't write too much. You can visit my resume page for specifics. I graduated from a small Christian high school in Iowa, and from there I attended a local liberal arts college. After my second year at college, I met my wife, Shari, and we took a year off from school to live in Washington. POP! There we had our first son, Luke! We returned to Iowa where I finished my Bachelor's Degree in Secondary Education for teaching English and language arts. There we had our second son, Joshua! He was just in time to pack up his diapers and fly out to Arizona where I began teaching high school English --literature, Shakespeare, film, and creative and college preparatory writing. Soon, I was elected Chairman of the English Department. And after several excellent years of teaching, I followed my wife to Washington where she began care for a 97 year old woman in her ocean shore home. This was a perfect opportunity for me to begin writing screenplays for feature-length films. Unfortunately, the woman to which Shari provided care, passed away in April of 1998. So we moved to Lynden. A little over a year later, Andrew was born. And here we are! I optioned my first screenplay only months after finishing it. But it got put on hold as I was commissioned to assist with the production of another film. Plans for shooting are sometime this year, but this is a cutthroat industry! You never know what'll change! After many interesting experiences (read my journal), I founded The Indie Film Group (IFG) --an organization of Writers, Directors, and Producers who work together and provide educational seminars from time to time.
