My professional experience spans ten years of effortful and meaningful work. I believe that "work" is more than some place that one goes to for eight hours a day, but is the driving force behind a happy and meaningful life.
I have been involved with projects in corporate marketing (Herman Miller Corporation), artist hospitality (Australian rock band AC/DC), higher education (Seitoku Junior/Senior Girls' High School), original music ("Special Dental Team," "Friend," "Lapdancer") corporate training (Interac Ltd.) and most recently, as an Assistant Director and Video Editor in Tokyo, Japan.
In addition, I have written and directed more than a handful of short films from age 13 and to present. Before the advent of Youtube, I was shooting and editing shorts on old VHS cameras,and later forming "The Cannibal Network," purveyors of such short films as "Tears for Tono," "Hush Little Cow" and "Meat Salad" - shorts that have all gone viral.
My future goals, of which I am already working on to some extent include, writing five feature-length screenplays, producing a full-length horror film and working with established independent directors and creators.
Here is a partial list of short films and music that I have created:
