New hip hop when I am...
Movies
Sin City, Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, The Departed, Zombieland, Cloverfield, and Transformers are some of my favorites. If Quentin Tarantino, Rob Zombie, Michael Bay, or Jerry Bruckheimer have their names on it, I probably liked it. I like comedies, though not stupid annoying ones like Napolean Dynamite or Ben Stiller movies. I love horror movies....any of them, especially the cheesy slasher movies from the 80s. I don't get too concerned with who is in the movie...if it keeps me entertained and the acting is bearable...I like it.
Television
I hardly ever watch television, but some of the shows I like include Dexter, Fringe, 24, Scrubs, Top Gear, House, and The Daily Show. Usually I have Fuse or something like that on in the background if I'm working around the house, but if I happen to be searching for something to watch, I'll normally land on an automotive show, or some geeky science thing :-)
Books
Haven't had much time to read lately, but some of my favorite books are 'World War Z' by Max Brooks, 'The Dog Who Spoke With Gods' by Diane Jessup, anything by Dan Brown or Stephen King, Harry Potter, etc...
Heroes
People that work for what they have and don't have things handed to them - My parents for being perfect examples of that. If you didn't earn it, you don't deserve it.
I do freelance photography and video work. Everything from motion graphics and animations, to music videos, radio spots, promotional videos, training videos, and television commercials. You can see some of the photographs I've taken in my pictures section, and some links to some of the video projects I have produced on the left hand side of this page. My goal is to develop a full blown production company that specializes in photography and video production for the music industry -- music videos, DVDs, live concert footage, and photography. I'm doing some freelance work now for a company called www.cagerattle.com that is getting me a little bit closer to that goal. Check them out!
I also own a mobile DJ business that plays about 50 jobs a year. This is now my 12th year doing it. I play at bars, schools, parties, etc.
When I'm not doing any sort of work at all, I fill my time with photography, working around the house, playing video games, and spending time with my friends and family.
Who I'd like to meet: JJ Abrams, Jerry Bruckheimer, Michael Bay, Stephen King, Quentin Tarantino, Eli Roth, Rob Zombie, Robert Knight, Simon Marsden, Samuel L. Jackson, and Alyssa Milano :-)
Other music video editors/directors, and photographers.
