Hello Stage 32 family!
I’m not exactly a new member, but I’ve been dormant in this space for many years. Today, I’m excited to introduce myself and share my journey with you all.
After years in a comfortable but soul-crushing cubicle job, I’ve finally made the leap to pursue my creative passions full-time. It’s now or never, and I’m ready to explore, create, and connect with like-minded individuals who are just as passionate about their dreams and goals.
My newest project, currently in the development and pre-production phase, is titled "Pedals of Praise." This faith-based mountain biking documentary centers around building community, overcoming challenges, and living a fun and fulfilled life. It follows three mountain bikers as they explore the 144-mile Maah Daah Hey Trail in the North Dakota Badlands, discovering the beauty of God’s creation and the power of personal growth.
I’m eager to connect, network, and collaborate with you all. Whether it’s discussing ideas over coffee, sharing resources, or even playing a really geeky numbers or computer nerd in your next project, I’m here to help. My background in finance (I’m a CFP®) means I can offer services like budget preparation and financial advice. In return, I’m looking for a script editor or consultant to help further develop my project. I’ll be posting this in the jobs section, but I’m open to trading services to make this happen.
To all the creatives out there, I wish you the very best on your journeys. Let’s lift each other up, support one another, and be the driving force behind our visions. God bless, and may our paths cross soon!
