I was born in the San Francisco Bay area in 1964, attached to a gypsy family that traveled with the growth of the oil industry through the 70s and 80s. I traveled and lived in 36 different homes, 10 different cities and 6 different countries before I was 32 years old. I've got lots of issues. From Hong Kong to London and New York City to Houston I have survived in a multitude of environments and languages with irony, angst, and little regret. I live by the motto: "it's better to regret something you have done than something you haven't." My interests are wide and varied. I love Michele, chocolate, my cat Spot, motocross, and steak burritos from the Flamingo. I like James Brown, Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinsky (especially in Aguirre Wrath of God). Fig media is an extension of all these things.

I am the creative director and a founding partner of fig media. fig media was established in 1993 as a deejay boutique and production facility specializing in the production of special events, club promotions, corporate meetings and documentary video. We spend many hours a week discussing the ins and outs of alive interactions with our clients. We value truth, follow through and creativity among other principles.
