Everybody feels the need to sum themselves and all of their interests up in a single paragraph, so here is my attempt:

I was born in the USA to Romanian parents, I speak Romanian, Spanish, and English (obviously). I graduated from UCLA and CSULA, spent some time in the Army, and have a black belt in Hapkido. I've been known to jump out of perfectly good airplanes, hit 150+ mph racing my motorcycle on the track, I've taught some big celebrity names how to drive race cars, and I once shot a guy with a flare gun (seriously). While that in no way sums me up entirely, I don't want this page to get too Myspace'y... That's what Myspace is for.

I travel to LA often as that is where I am originally from.

What I am here for:
- Being a part of creating some rad pictures.
- Networking with the cool people in this ever-so-strange industry we're in.

What I'm not here for:
- Copying the same f*cking cookie cutter pictures that everyone has in their damn portfolios.
- Networking with the weirdos and creeps in this ever-so-strange industry we're in.



Yep, that's me.
