Introduction Born and raised in sunny Orange County, California, and graduated from Chapman University with a major in film and minor in Japanese. In 2003 moved to Japan to mix both passions of film and Japan. Established a small production group, DK PRO, making thought provoking films by mixing both eastern and western style and story in cinema to make a new breed of international film.

In 2007, produced and co-founded the Kansai International Film Festival in Osaka, Japan. Currently resides in Kobe, Japan.
