Heroes
My wife has to be my first hero! otherwise she would beat me if I didn't name her as the first!! lol
Both my brother-in-law's are cool guys! They both come from different backgrounds but I love em' both. One is techie and the other is country. My friend Mitch is a good compadrea too! And one more to mention is my art teacher from high school, Mr. Evans. I still stay in touch with him after 11 yrs!
Jesus. My son Avery because he teaches me that no matter whats going on in life.....all you have to do is look at him and instantly feel good about where I'm at!
Growing up I always wanted to be an artist. Guess I am one to some extent!
I love my son Avery. He is what relieves some stress from my busy world right now. He's a lot of fun though and he amazes me how quickly he learns. Everyday I see him do something new! I just hope I'm a good father.
My wife Anita is my other half and the good one at that! She has what I lack and we fit together so well. It took me a lifetime to find her and feel blessed to have her in my life. We work together in the construction biz and see each other all the time which is nice.
My dreams have been into all aspects of art but within the past couple of years its been in video. I've always wanted to film a movie and create something worth watching. There's so much crap out there and not enough pictures have that feel of storyline like there have been in the past.
A movie, realistically speaking- a script of story to give to a script writer. I would love to see a story of mine make it to the big dogs because they could make it soo much better than I could! Fund it right and have the right talent as well. I'm currently working on several story ideas. Any help is always welcomed! Hope you enjoy my page!
