I am a freelance journalist that has become enamored with the film industry. This led me to begin investing in small independent projects that I thought showed promise. Somewhere along the line I realized that I was a producer. As the years have gone on I have become involved in more than seventy productions that you never heard of. I am also the author of two books, and the Director of Nerd Rage News (a blog site that reports on all aspects of geekdom). I have written several screenplays and continue to expand my craft.
