You’re probably wondering who that dashing gentleman to the right is, well, that’s me! A visual artist to the core, I got my start in television production eight years ago writing and directing commercials. A couple years later I created Studio Z Films (formerly Glass Eye Video) and I haven’t looked back. I’ve got the greatest gig in the world, not only do I get to exercise my creativity to create some amazing films but I get to meet some really incredible people and tell their stories.

So what do I do when I’m not producing films? I absolutely love to spend time with my family. My oldest daughter, Mya’s laughter is the sweetest sound in the world and incredibly contagious. Her smile makes me smile. We welcomed our newest addition to the family, Sadie Evelyn, who was born June 3, 2009. She and Mya seem to have this friendly competition of who can melt my heart the fastest. My radical wife Reagan and I have been married since September 2004 and I’m reminded everyday why I married her. She is amazing and has supported me from day one when I suggested we open a studio. Of course I can’t forget about our horse who disguises himself as a dog we named Guinness. We adopted him from the SPCA about 4 years ago and he thanks us every single day.

So there you have it, that’s my story. What’s yours?
