About me:
I am a Doctor of Chiropractic, Actor, Writer, Producer, Filmmaker, Pilot.
I spent my younger years in Michigan with my family. My Father originating in Scotland. I give credit to Mom for enhancing my need to create and my Dad for my work ethic and need for sport. My brother Dan a fellow doctor of chiropractic and world class runner and stimulates my competitive nature. I went to School in Michigan and Graduate studies receiving a Doctor of Chiropractic at Palmer in Iowa. Since working on the movie, The Patriot, as a calvary officer for 5 weeks I was drawn to serious acting and filmmaking. It has not stopped. From acting, directing, producing, to camera work, pre-prod, production and post production I have made it a priority to dig into the foundation of them all, study with the best and produce quality, cost efficient work. It is the journey not the destination. I have a lot to learn from those on these sites. I will sleep later.
We cannot re-live the past but we can mold the future.
The people I would like to meet that are still alive are Robert Rodriquez, Stephen Hawking the physicist, Denzel Washingtion and Tony Scott. Those who have gone to the other dimension are Errol Flynn, Steve Reeves, Johnny Weissmuller, The Wright brothers, B.J. Palmer, howard Hughes, Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton, Mary Queen of Scotts, Ghandi, my Great Grandfather and William Wallace.
Escapes...
Everyone needs to escape from the everyday stresses of the daily demands of work. The mountains of n.c. are wonderful but sometimes L.A., N.Y., and Atlanta bring me back to the real world. I visit Costa Rica to recharge, surf, eat great food and take clothes to the Indians in the jungle. Scotland grounds me. Meditation connects me with the infinite.
Since childhood I have been a doctor inside with the need to improve how others feel. Since childhood I have created movies. I feel fortunate that now I can seriously live my dreams at a higher level.
90% of the people never accomplish anything and the only thing they leave behind is a tomb stone.
I am committed to making the world a better place, please join me.
Long time Brad. Hope you are doing great. I am on the move with movies offers. Contracts in the making. Filming my big movie the end of this year. Thanks! For your friendship. Keep busy. Antonio

"Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude."
This is so true….

Once in the dream of a night I stood Lone in the light of a magical wood, Soul-deep in visions that poppy-like sprang; And spirits of Truth were the birds that sang,
And spirits of Love were the stars that glowed, And spirits of Peace were the streams that flowed In that magical wood in the land of sleep.
“Relationships are like the sand and your hands are like Love. If your Love squeezes your relationship with Jealousy, Obsession or Distrust; the relationship will slip through your fingers like the sand. If your Love holds the relationship gently with Compassion, Understanding and Trust; the relationship will stay.”
