Failure is just part of life it happens to everyone. Yet, it doesn't have to be crippling if you don't let it.

If you can look at your failure and answer yes to the questions, Did I give it my absolute best effort? and Have I learned something valuable? then you have failed in the right way. By these standards, I've failed many times in my career. But every failure has made me stronger and wiser. Inevitably, success has always followed.

I am inspired by those who dedicate their lives to bringing about positive social change throughout the world.

My mother dedicated over fifty years of her life to the nursing profession, giving selflessly of her time, energy, and passion for the benefit of others. I always marvel at what an indelible and honorable contribution she has made and hope to be able to make a similar impact over the course of my life and career.

I've always looked at directing as the next step for me in my creative career, and after spending the better part of the last decade on a television set absorbing as much as I could from in front of the camera, I'm now eager to learn as much as I can from behind it.
