I like to say Robert Rodriguez's film Desperado made me dream of becoming a filmmaker...but it was the horror genius John Carpenter and his films that made me pick up a camera.
Beyond that the list of my favorite directors pretty much explains it all...

My first feature was a western film I made when I was a freshmen in college. It has opened many doors for me.

About me: I'm an independent filmmaker from Missouri who likes a good challenge. Learning from every project that I do is what motivates me so I can apply what I learned to my next film. I guess I just love challenges and thats one reason I love making movies....the others being that I like to tell a good story and its just fun to see an your words on paper and the images in your head come to life to entertain the masses.
