About

I grew up in Norfolk, VA with three older brothers. From Norfolk, I entered college at Syracuse University, where I studied art, photography and design, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.

After graduation, I moved to Boston and worked as a freelance photographer and designer. One formative experience was working as an activist for Greenpeace, where I gained insight into a variety of environmental issues. I also enjoyed my time working at Scullers Jazz Club on the Charles River.

While in Boston, I also studied both Eastern and Western bodywork, as well as Polarity energy healing, and continued to practice massage therapy in California for many years.

I've been living in Santa Monica, CA since December 1994 and created Guerrilla Films in 2010.
