Male

For more than 20 years I supported my family as a professional entertainer. I made appearances on TV and wrote, performed and produced shows for the amusement park Great America in Santa Clara.

I am currently NOT a sr. animator at Secret Level...anymore, a game company in S.F. and have credits on 6 or 7 different games. Ranging from lead 3D Artist to modeling, animating and voice talent. I have worked for the grandaddy of all game companies...Atari, and the biggest of them all...EA. I have also worked for a small production company producing, editing, animating and art directing everything from commercials to logo treatments. It's all been fun.... however, as I was recently laid off yet again...

I have decided to NOT go back to a life in a box...in front of a monitor.

I am NOW CURRENTLY AND FOREVER MORE a professional pirate.
I do a spoof of a famous movie pirate as Captian Jack Spareribs.
I perform where ever they will let me. Mostly magic, juggling, ventriloquism and acting. I was crew on the tall ship Royaliste for a couple of years, firing cannons and terrorizing the Bay. I have started playing the part of Fagin at the Dickens' Fair which is much like playing Riff Raff really... and have for the last 3 years. I love the people and the world of the Dickens' Fair.

I make my living now performing and passing the hat on Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco and performing at private parties and corporate events.

I did spend my youth dressing as Riff Raff at the RHPS. It taught me about costuming and make up and was a great outlet since we had no drama dept. at the crappy High School I dropped out of.

And now I am back to wearing make up and a wig and playing dress up yet again... I am so grateful for my whacky life.

Used to be a freak. Fire-eating, sword swallowing, bed of nails and other assorted oddities.

Now I'm just a freak without all the extras.
