I'm a professional massage therapist and massage instructor, and an experienced martial arts practitioner.  Studied Philosophy, Psychology, and Theatre in college.  Joining the Air Force soon.
The stage and screen are my other passions, and I've worked in several short film and theatre productions as actor, writer, singer, stuntman, choreographer, dancer, and stage crew.  I enjoy modeling when I can, and I always like to bring as much to the table as possible during a shoot.

As well, I work as a professional Pirate Re-enactor with the Valhalla's Pirates crew. -www.Valhallaspirates.com-

My training includes: Taekwondo, Okinawan Karate, American Kickboxing, Krav Maga, Brazillian Jujitsu, Tai Chi, Hapkido, Chin Na, and Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu (Grandmaster William Cheung, master Keith Mazza, sifu Lou DiLoreto).

Weapon skills include: Bo staff (6'), dragon pole (9'), Wing Chun butterfly swords, escrima sticks, balisong butterfly knives, katana, Chinese broad sword, dagger/knife, and improvised weapons.  I have minimal training with several dozen other miscellaneous weapons, and I can also fake practically any other weapon I haven't specifically trained in well enough to at least look convincing.

Other physical and performance skills include: singing, acting(comedy and drama), tumbling/prat falling, climbing, horseback riding (English and Western), stage combat (unarmed and melee weapons, circle and line), and some dancing.

I love (in no particular order) zombies, vampires, pirates, fantasy, ninja, martial arts, action, sci-fi, fetish, artistic nudity, general goth/industrial, romance, Eastern theme, healing arts theme, fitness, horror, etc...

I enjoy physical and artistic shoots, and my athletic abilities enable me to take and hold bizarre poses and access strange locations.  Clinging to walls and perching on precarious surfaces is no problem for me, so I can do the whole Vampire/Elf/Rogue type thing quite easily.

I've also got a decent collection of wardrobe, weaponry, and props (including a REAL ninja outfit), and I am always eager to incorporate those into a shoot.  I'm an avid collector, but I don't keep display pieces.  All of my weapons are real, genuine, honest to god sharp and pointy.

Gregariousness is one of my qualities, and I pride myself on being easy to work with.  I can get along with just about anyone and I'm really a big dork.  My car is a 2002 Honda Civic, so I've got efficient and reliable transportation and am willing to travel several hours if necessary.

No tattoos or piercings, but some scars visible up close.  Nothing huge or disfiguring, and not the self-inflicted kind either.  Let's just say that kung fu ain't easy, and a few times I zigged when I should have zagged...

I can sometimes be persuaded to trade service for service (need a massage?) and I'm always eager to negotiate.

As my current work schedule stands, I have Tuesdays and Fridays off.  I can always find coverage and finagle my schedule around if need be.

I'm up for nearly any kind of work including nudity or fetish, but the one thing I WILL NOT DO is any work that depicts smoking or drug use.  Alcohol is fine, but no cigarettes, weed, or substances.  I have personal reasons that I expect anybody I work with to respect without question.  This is non-negotiable.

By the way, I recently noticed that most of the people on my friend list are other models.  Not that I'm complaining, of course, but aren't there any photographers or MUA's or stylists out there who wanna be my friend?

*NOTE: My hair was recently cut a bit shorter than you see in most of my pictures.  It wasn't intended and I'm still a little sore about it.  But, whatever.  I'm afraid it'll be some months before my lovely luxurious coif is back again...*

**Yet another NOTE: I don't consider this a dating service. It SHOULD go without saying, but recent circumstances have prompted me to clarify as much.  I am currently in a very happy, very monogamous, and very HETEROSEXUAL relationship already.  And no, it's not the girl in my portfolio with me.  That's my ex-fiancee, Anna.**
