Heya guys! Looking forward to seeing you again! I have to echo the holy-crap-has-it-really-been-
Life has definitely not been exactly what I expected, but it's kinda been a blessing. After high school, I got my Bachelor's in Electronic Media at Weber State University, where I started making short films on the side just for fun (Whinham -- I'll never forget that dance you did...). My love for filmmaking then brought me out to Southern California, where I got my Master's in Film Directing from Chapman University, and began working in the film industry doing whatever people wanted me to do -- write, direct, assistant direct, warm up the hot chocolate ('cuz I still don't know how to make coffee), whatever. I directed a few more films and now run a small company, Everlight Films (www.everlightfilms.com), where we create non-explicit films and videography projects. My work has allowed me to walk the red carpet a few times, win a few things and meet celebs, but when it comes down to it, nothing beats wearing jeans and just hanging out with my friends.
To fill in the freelance filmmaking gaps, I also work part time at... dun, dun, dun.... Disneyland!! The pay is crap, but the job is priceless. I'm a stage manager, leadership field trip teacher, Jedi, and I work in the character department (Jessie from "Toy Story" is the BEST). Since I'm not married with kids yet, I treasure the sweet young faces I get to meet at work.
Other than that, since high school I finally discovered eye-liner, student loan payments, and smile lines. I live in Orange County, CA, with my two Italian greyhounds, Savvy and Comet, and every day is unpredictable. Life is journey! 10 years down, and many more to come! See you soon!

P.S. Since I don't have any cute kids to show off, here are my weird-looking/adorable dogs!
