- My favorite artist of all time is Frank Ocean, I think his persona and his work is just brilliantly crafted. Also where’s the album?
- My favorite movie is ET. It’s a perfect movie. It just hits every emotion perfectly and it still holds up to this day.
- I was on a golf team in elementary school. My great grandma taught me how to play and I smoked grandpas on the driving range.
- I used to do puppetry magic and ventriloquism for kids birthday parties when I was… also a kid. That’s why my production company was named “ThePMVproductions.” Although now it stands for Professional Magic Video.
- Soccer is the one sport other than golf I can play. I felt very cool being one of the only white kids at my school who could keep up.

- Being from Arizona it took a while to actually visit New York. My first Broadway show I saw was Beautiful the Carole King Musical at 17 years old.
- I was cast in my first Broadway role in Almost Famous months after seeing my first Broadway show.
- My love for theme parks can not be described. I will get you through an entire park in a day.
- I self produce things constantly because I get bored and selfishly have a lot to say through art. Short Films mostly, but occasionally theatre and even haunted houses as well. I have had to wear many hats throughout doing that as a director, writer, producer, cinematographer, and editing.
- My family all at one point have worked as artists, and now they all work in education. A good upbringing.
