In recent months I have been going through a very tough time and unfortunately it effected my work and my training. Now Im slowly trying to put everything back together and get things back on…

New Networks

Posted on August 12, 2010 at 7:03pm 0 Comments

Hi everyone. I know I've gone AWOL lately and haven't been around much, but I've been extremely busy and in the process created two new networks. I don't know about any of you but I've gotten a little tired of ning.com, especially since all of the changes that they made forcing many site administrators, including myself, to find other social networking platforms. It took some time but I've landed on one that I think will give me the freedom to do everything ning.com wouldn't let me. So if…

Viking Trilogy Update

Posted on August 10, 2009 at 6:52pm 0 Comments

Still working hard with the scripts of this Viking Trilogy Epic, for all of the ones on this site that have shown interests. I want you all to know that I will be keeping you updated on how everything is going. Viking history has long been apart of me in a way that I should express it on screen. I've always had a love for Viking history and the type of stories that can be written around its history.



This is something I'm extremely excited about. I even had the pleasure of meeting… Continue

Live Show Aftermath

Just got back in from a big martial arts production that i directed, produced, and performed in. The show was UNBELIEVABLE! Absolutely AMAZING!!! I wish you all could have been there. On stage I gave the introduction, and I was also the opening act. You know how you shake your opponent on a football field? That's kind of what I did with my routine. Everyone says it was the perfect way to open the show. The talent I had there were unbelievable. To find such talent in a short amount of time was… Continue

Today is the day for my Live Martial Arts and Stunts Production. My ankle has me worried about a worse injury but all in all I'm totally ready, psyched, and completely pump. It's tonight at 6pm and I can't wait! The ankle will wrapped tightly and I've been using kung fu liniment to help ease the pain. Wish you all could be there. I'll let you know how everything turns out!

i can't believe it's 2 days away from my show and i hurt my darn ankle -- again. how am i going to perform in a show that i'm in charge of with an ankle injury i don't know but you can believe that i won't let it stop me. i put in too much time and effort into this to get sidetracked now. so i'll have to take the necessary precautions b4 continuing. i knew something was wrong with my ankle when i could walk correctly and in the middle of the night the pain got worse so suddenly.

Date for Live Production 2

Posted on July 28, 2009 at 3:59pm 0 Comments

The date is set for my Live Martial Arts/Stunt Production. Been working around the clock with auditions, and rehearsing routines in an extremely short amount of time. I actually had a dream that Jet Li AND Jackie Chan were there. Aside from working with them I'm hoping that indicates the night will be a success. The show will be August 7, on a Friday from 6pm to 8pm. Those of you that have showed me support I know you'll be with me in spirit. With this show I'm the Director, and Choreographer.… Continue

Hey Lady Warrior, Your state sounds like Mass. It's a shame when people lose jobs. I'm very lucky to have been able to retire. So what have you been up to lately?? I've been keeping busy with auditions. There's one coming up on May 28 right here in my home town of Springfield. It's for a horror movie. I'm going out for the part of a Zombie! We get to attack a Rave Party. There are speaking parts as well but I've always wanted to play a Zombie in a movie. It will be shown on Comcast some time next year. I'll let you know how I make out at the audition.

I've been teaching my boys some Martial Arts. Right now I'm showing them how to punch and kick. Double kicking with redirection, blocking moves, and some take down moves. It's funny to watch them. I watched a Bruce Lee special the other day on Discovery. It was fantastic! It had had his wife and daughter on. China is going all out with a Bruce Lee Museum. I'm hoping something like that gets built here in the states. They also showed his grave along with his son Brandon. I'll be 55 in two weeks.(31st) Still hanging touch though. Training every other day. My left knee and left shoulder need replacement. That doesn't stop me. I train around the injury. I'm not jumping off of any buildings anymore but I do train. You take care my friend and I'll write more often. Stay Strong! Peace

Hey Lady,

Good to hear from you. It's been some time. How are you doing?? Any work?? The boys are doing fine. Driving me crazy as usual. The weather has been real crazy here. I now have a nasty head cold. I've had to turn down a couple of auditions because of it. C.P. Casting put out a notice they'll be looking for background extras for a movie that will be shooting from May - July. Think I'll jump on that when I get the audition notice. Other than that it's been quiet in the movie industry around here.. The good weather is coming so it should pick up. I'll drop you a line more often. Miss talking to you.. Take care my friend. Peace. :)
