About me: I'm a 30 year old punk from Detroit now in my tenth year of life in Los Angeles, California. I'm a former film executive with a resume that includes such universally beloved films as Freddy vs. Jason, Snakes on a Plane, Shoot 'Em Up, Normal Adolescent Behavior and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. These days I'm upsetting the apple cart with a little nerd machine I call AMERICAN ORIGINAL.
I've also been known to venture into comics, including a cheeky little run on Booster Gold for DC Comics. You can also check out Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash and Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash II: The Nightmare Warriors from Wildstorm and Dynamite while you're at it too.
Before moving to Los Angeles I worked for Ted Turner's World Championship Wrestling promotion, learning the ins and outs of the big time wrestling business during the famous Monday Night Wars. And way back when it all started I was a mouthy 15 year old talk radio host on WDFN 1130 in Detroit.
Yet I also dropped out of school as quickly as humanly possible.
Social Darwinism at its finest I say!
Who I'd like to meet: Cool people that have no use for trendy L.A. bullshit.
A real American. I remember having this song on the WWF album, back in like 1985. With Jimmy Hart singing, and Hill Billy Jim. Thanks for the memory flashback.
thanks for the add bro, I'll try and get at you at some point to say "hello","whats up", or to ask you to come over with those claws and till my garden. LOL. Later brother.
