About me

Gender Male
Industry Non-Profit
Occupation Animal Caregiver
Location Milan, Michigan, United States
Introduction I live in a barn in rural Michigan with ten chickens and a new cat. I work at the Great Lakes Rabbit Sanctuary and play a lot of ice hockey and golf. Right now I'm trying to find representation for my first book, Florestan and Eusebius, and a screenplay, Human Dissection. I just finished directing my first short film, Malignant, and have been an extra on numerous Hollywood sets. With a monocle and a well-oiled pause button, you might be able to locate me on the big screen.
