I’m me. No frills, grip it and rip it! Let’s go. Sandwich enthusiast to the max, and love making others laugh to a fault. I know a thing or two about storytelling but I love a good one no matter what. Even the poorly made mediums are worthwhile if the story is strong. I’d love for you to just get to know me through this podcast. I say lots of things.

(Also co-hosts the ‘Holdo Maneuver‘ podcast.)

Favorite Episode(s)
- Don’t have a specific one. Maybe after this go-round, I’ll change this.

Dedicated father to the coolest human son and the most amazing mini schnauzer daughter, working in film and audio production. An Anglophile who particularly loves a good British comedy series or film, captivated by movies, especially ‘Back to the Future’, and is a purveyor of useless film and television trivia.

(Also co-hosts the podcasts ‘Animation Fascination‘ & ‘Holdo Maneuver.’)
