I spent 10 years in L.A. studying acting with Guy Stockwell, Hap Lawrence and others from 1980 to the end of 1989. During this time I did extra work numerous times in General Hospital. I played a detective in City Killer with Heather Locklear and Gerald Mcraney, Worked on Mask, with Cher and Sam Elliott.I learned to fly helicopter with Rick Shuster, who later became one of Hollywood's best know helicopter pilots. I went to work in video post production at Foto Tronics in Burbank Ca. in 1984 and left in 1989 at which time I moved back to my home town of Crescent City Ca.There I spent 16 years working at Pelican Bay State Prison as a correctional officer. I retired in 2007. In 2012 I got the chance to work on "Love in the time of monsters" near my home in Northern Calif. I worked in the art dept and landed a small part as Ranger Rick. This year, 2019 I worked on a commercial shoot as a location scout with Sean Thonson! I've been working with the Humboldt Del Norte file commission as a location scout, photographer and drone operator. Its strange how fate works.After being gone from acting for 23 years it landed on my doorstep. Never give up on your dreams, they may be right around the corner.
