Introduction What can I say that won't sound obnoxious or self-centered? I'm a divorced guy with a wonderful 5 year old daughter, working to be able to make a living doing what I love. I moved to Minneapolis, MN in Sept 0f 08. I am a professional actor and producer and am writing a book. Before that I lived in L.A. for 8 years and worked as a fundraiser for good causes like The National Wildlife Federation and The National Trust For Historic Preservation, and as an English tutor for middle school kids, and for 6 years as a performer in one of the shows at Universal Studios Hollywood, and as an actor in various plays, movies and TV shows. Its a lot of work. My special project is this "Vice-Precedence:Being Number Two in the White House." and we can use your support. I do my best
