Vagabond filmmaker in search for meaning.
I'm a filmmaker, producer, media artist, activist, sustainable constructor, permaculturalist, community builder and an optimist. I've been making short gallery films since 2000, but Searching for Dragons is my first feature film. Shortly after my 28th birthday, I found myself increasingly dissatisfied with a great job and my superb success within the American dream. I gave up my home, sold my truck, and moved into a van. A lot has changed since then as I've written a new story for myself.
