For ten years, I owned a production company in Albuquerque and worked on scores of films and television shows and music videos. During that time, I was a vice president of IATSE Local 480 - the union representing film workers in the New Mexico.
I was a co-founder of the Flicks on 66 filmmaking competition which was the inspiration for the 48-Hour Film Project. The training I developed for the festival developed into another career and I was asked to teach filmmaking at CNM and then at DATA Charter HS.

place I wanted to retire. Through a strange series of events, I was asked to teach film at the college level and moved to Savannah in 2016.

My eldest daughter is an occupational therapist and she lives with her family in Loveland, CO and I have two children from my second marriage. My middle daughter is a speech and language pathologist working in Savannah and my son is a vascular sonographer living in Charleston, SC.
