About Me:

I'm a native Chicagoan whose most recently finished projects include writing, producing, directing and editing "The Dark Knight Project", directing and editing the 2008 48 Hour Film Project winner "Clonely", and editing 4 episodes of the History Channel series "Gangland". 2007 projects included editing DVD featurettes for the films "Primeval", "The History Boys" and "Turistas" produced by Trailer Park and the feature film "Frankie D", starring Todd Bridges and produced by DV Filmworks. In 2006, I edited 10 segments of the series "Breaking In" produced by Kevin Leadingham for the REELZ Channel, directed the 48 Hour Film project "Protected! " for Bliss Productions, and served as co-producer and editor for twenty three 1 hour and 1/2 hour episodes of the weekly syndicated series "Made in Hollywood". I also edited "Frame on the Wall - The Making of "The Door in the Floor" and "Backstage with "Connie and Carla" for Universal Home Video. "Now You Know, " the romantic comedy written and directed by "Clerks II" star Jeff Anderson which I edited, was released in December of 2006 by Weinstein Home Video.

I also created the "Impeach Bush Now" playing card deck to express my views as a progressive activist while also educating people and supporting my other creative ventures through their sales. See them at: http://www.impeachbushcards.com.

I am presently involved as producer/director of the crime thriller "Butcher's Dozen", in development as a feature film budgeted at $3 million dollars set to shoot in Chicago. Evocative of the films "Seven", "Silence of the Lambs" and "Zodiac", "Butcher's Dozen" focuses on the efforts of a female homicide detective involved in a race against time catching a serial killer before another man wrongly implicated for the crimes is put to death.
