I never realized how much work filmmaking was until I got into it. I knew that cameras were involved, I knew you had to have some sort of editor. I just didn’t know the intricate nature of the job that has nothing to do with capturing images and sound. The different stages of it all . Development, Financing, Pre-Production, Production, Post Production, Marketing, Distribution. Each one comes with 9 parts that you have to understand – especially as an independent film Director and Producer. Read More>>

Taking risks has played a huge role in my life and career! I think about risk as an opportunity to experience growth, to learn, or both.

Risks, big and small, are part of daily life and without them, life would be pretty stagnant! Read More>>

With that comes the drive to always further not only yourself as an artist and an athlete but this industry as a whole. The most successful dancers and artists are always looking for a way to “break through the glass ceiling” so to speak, to push dance past the limits we constrain it in, and find a new way to tell stories, portray emotion, or display unbridled physicality.  Read More>>

One thing that many homeowners and real estate agents may not fully grasp about home staging is just how strategic and impactful it is beyond simply decorating. Especially in today’s dynamic market, it’s crucial for a home to stand out and immediately capture buyer attention to prevent it from lingering on the market. It’s not about personal taste; it’s about creating a broad appeal that allows buyers to envision themselves living in that home. We’re not just adding furniture; we’re crafting an emotional connection. Read More>>

Hands down the question I’m asked most! In addition to all the usual juggling elements, our girls attend a hybrid school where I homeschool them a few days a week. It is a BALANCE. Read More>>
