Film – Austin

I am an Austin Based film maker. I started as an actor, but like many before me, I decided to Produce and Direct as well.

My Directorial debut, \"Love, Simple\" won a 2013 Remi Award at Worldfest Houston International Film Festival.

We recently wrapped \"#RIP\" starring Missi Pyle (Galaxy Quest, Dodgeball, Big Fish, The Artist) Naomi Grossman (American Horror Story: Asylum) along with Beth Shea (United States of Tara),Ammie Leonards (Dallas, Vampire Diaries) Heath Allyn, David Henne and Jason Vines with a cameo by yours truly.

As mentioned, I am primarily an actor. I play Dean in Firestorm Pictures\' forthcoming comedy, \"Copycat\", which is due to be released in Spring 2014.

I also appear as the Doctor in the new music video \"Sugar Water\" by the amazing Austin-based singer/songwriter Danny Malone.
