There isn't much to say about myself. I have a college degree in journalism from the University of New Mexico. I've lived in the state of New Mexico for just about my whole life. I have only recently gotten into movies.

About two years ago, like most people, I woke up one day and said "I've got a great idea for a movie." I followed up on it and bought a screenwriting book. In the book it listed some movies to watch. One of those was Casablanca. I couldn't believe I hadn't seen the movie before. I was blown away by the story and the acting. I knew that I wanted to be involved in the movie business some way to create another story like that. I'm still trying to create that story as a screenwriter. I've had more success as a film historian.

I have a blog and hopefully a book on Marilyn Monroe due out in 2009. The book is being reviewed by publishers right now. I just have a passion for classic movies that I would like to share with the world. I hope I can do that through WILDsound.
