Other non-acting related work, hobbies or charities (not skills) in which this actor is involved (1 or 2 word descriptions):

I have directed and produced four of Hollywood’s largest film festivals in venues as prestigious as the Shrine Auditorium and the Egyptian Theater. In addition, I worked as a Producer and Event Director for Collective Entertainment at Paramount Studios. I worked as a producer on an independent film starring Patrick Stewart of Star Trek and X-Men fame as well as a UCLA thesis film. Recently, I produced a commercial for FMC Ice Sports directed by JJ Miller.

My hobbies include the outdoors, costuming and renaissance faires.
I am an avid supporter of the environment and my charity work focuses on this issue among others.
