So much to describe...
I live in Lafayette, IN. right now, but I grew up in Carroll County. I am a filmmaker/writer/actor/designer/whatever. 5'6", brown hair and blue eyes. I am half Italian, half German, and proud of my heritage. I am very close with my family, my friends, and my cat KITT.

One thing I was probably MOST known for in high school, was my ART. I gave up Art for a while, but still draw things from time to time, as well as work on a lot of Graphic Design projects. Now I seem to write a lot more often. I sometimes write stories for Comic Book publications, and I've written film reviews & columns for numerous online publications. I helped to create characters for the FOX Television show "Mutant X". I enjoy cooking, singing, geeky things, photography, graphic design, sculpture, networking, learning, creating new concepts & ideas, etc.
I am exceptionally fond of trying new things and meeting new people. I have been extremely blessed in my life. So no matter what tomorrow brings, try to enjoy it as much as you can. I am FAR from perfect, but I strive each day, to be a good person. Live every moment as well as you are able, with the ones you care about the most. Life is far to short and precious, to waste our good moments. God Bless!
