Dad, Husband, Retired Marine, retired Boxer, Martial Artist, Martial Arts School Owner, Entrepreneur, Actor, and all around workaholic.
The long version: I had received a scholarship to College (Morehead State University in KY) for Acting and did not take it. I joined the Marine Corps instead and stayed for 21 years.
After I retired from service, I opened my own martial arts academy and as of August of 2020, I am a self made millionaire.
Owning a business, I found myself doing my own commercials and Public Service Announcements and thought I'd give acting (and now Producing) another shot. At this point, I'm just enjoying the process of learning all I can about the business.
