I have Guest-Starred on JAG, Alias, and Drake & Josh, appeared over 150 times as a Police Officer on General Hospital and Port Charles. Since 1998 I wrote and directed 19 shows. I customized thousands of shows for hundreds of corporate and private clients. I now am a founding member shooting short comedic films and internet projects with Filme Corpse, and wrote/officiated over 450 Weddings with Great Officiants (see Weddings Page), husband of 30+ years, father of three (now adults).
Events Through Artistry Matters
I've had the great joy for the past 30 years to be able to write 19 original plays, from the broad farce of the medieval "Resistance is Feudal," to the 1889 Showboat Mystery "Alibi Aboard," to a tribute to the golden age of radio, "WISH You Were Here," which have collectively been staged and customized thousands of times, become scores of characters in thousands of performances, and to host/Emcee hundreds of events, and to help dozens of Non-Profits including Kiwanis, Visit Anaheim, and Muzeo, raise Hundreds of Thousands of $$$ as Auctioneer.
Public and Private Shows
We have researched, customized, performed, and received RAVE reviews for shows from Intuitive Surgical, Ameriprise, Disney, Smart & Final, Abbott Vascular, Exxon, OC Sheriffs, and hundreds of other clients. Though we currently have no public show, we have had shows run for 8 years in Costa Mesa, 7 years in Long Beach, 3 years in Whittier, and 5 years at PJ's Abbey in Orange.
