As of September I am now the Drama Director for a high school here in Michigan. This has offered a new and unique challenge. Selfishly I must say that I am learning/re-learning a lot about acting. It is amazing how much you can learn from teaching.

The best part is that I get to work in the field yet still have time to pursue my one true passion. I have had a few auditions as of late, one that, specifically, could offer a great career move as well as getting to work with some amazing people that seem to have the true meaning of movie-making in mind.

So we shall see.

This has promise to be a very strong and well done short. It is a Gulley Brothers Production being directed by Rob Gulley and I will be acting along side Grace Anne Rowan. This will be my first East Michigan based shoot.

Though things are still in the process it appears the movie has been picked up. A distribution company has picked up the movie and will be, if all goes according to plan, distributing it in theatres in Mexico and Germany. There is also talks of a release on rentals and also purchase copies. Further more a comic is in the works that will feature a prequel story about Miller (my character) which will be sold in comic book stores. You can see information regarding the movie at www.zombieapocalypsemovie.com. Hopefully more good news to follow.

It was a difficult time moving from Grand Rapids to the Detroit area after being away for eight years. Just yesterday (Sunday, Jan. 25th) I took part in a small shoot called 'Lost Whiskey' for Phil Worfle on his 30th birthday back in Grand Rapids. It was an amazing to work with some people I have not seen in a few months as well as working in such a professional atmosphere.


I also have gone to my first audition and callback in the Detroit area recently. It was a great opportunity to meet some new people in an area where the market is, as of now, so foreign to me.
