I make music videos as a creative and emotional outlet. Often I use the characters/themes of a movie as a surrogate for what I'm going through at that very moment. Pain has always been my biggest motivator and inspiration. My video output has decreased drastically over the last couple of years mainly because I've been a lot happier. Even though I make these videos for the wrong reasons a lot of good has come out of them and I've been very fortunate.

I've had many rewards as a result of this hobby. I met and befriended my favorite band Sevendust and they have given me great experiences I would have never dreamed of. I've had my video The Crow "Descent" published in NY magazine as one of the Top 5 fan videos of 2008. I've met all kinds of people and haven't had one bad experience.

Just last month I was featured in a live 60 minute radio interview where I give my personal views on video-making, how I got started, my motivations, etc.

..Solitude..

It helps to reflect and to examine our thoughts and actions without judgment. It places our noisy, obligation-filled life in perspective. Through reflection, we learn self-understanding and how to live creatively and responsibly. The appreciation for silence replaces the need for addictive thoughts and activities. When we love silence, there is no reason to run away from our thoughts and fears. Meditation brings unspeakable peace and eventually you learn to embrace the solitude.
