There was once a man who wanted to change the world.
After much time, when he couldn’t, he decided he wanted to change his nation.
After more time passed and nothing changed, he decided to change his village.
More time passed and no change was made, so he decided to change his family.
When he couldn’t change his family, he decided to change himself, only realizing too late that if he had done that first, he would have:
Changed his family, which would
Influence his village to change and in turn would
Inspire his nation to change and in doing so would
Become the beacon of change the world would follow.

Spent some time in Los Angeles and had a moment to catch up with a local Drinkin bro!
Acting... Something I never expected to be a craft that would open my soul.... I know some of the world sees me in a way they couldn’t possible fathom me being terrified of acting.
As I too thought it would be easy to step into Hollywood and be good at it because a lot comes easy to me... My life has been a playground to physicality's such as sports, fitness and Military....On the spot thinking and problem solving... But nothing has prepared me for this... Nothing has set me up to cut open old scars, to remember, Re-feel and re-live memories that have stacked themselves behind my smile.
For me to be good and hopefully someday great, I have needed to revisit my life in such a profound and vulnerable way it’s almost uncomfortable... How do I shut off the world around me and live in the scene? Can I convince you of my doubt, fear, reluctance and anger? Will you become attached to me... Will you see your life through my eyes. Will you connect with my vision... I have learned methods and styles from my brilliant partners... they welcome me and open up their secrets with me... But those are theirs and mine are mine... I am the only one who has walked in my shoes. Who has seen and felts things no one else has...
So here is to perfecting a new craft with my heart wide open...
