personal info
For starters, I'm 24
(my birthday is in September) and located in northern
New Jersey (about 30 miles directly west of New York City). I'm
doing this page in my spare time just for the hell of it. I dunno... I
thought it would be fun. It originally came online around April '95.
movies
Some of my favorite movies
are: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Schindler's List, Silence
of the Lambs (all pictured below), Heathers,
Forrest Gump, Aliens, Terminator 2, True Lies, Natural Born Killers, Princess
Bride, and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

books
My favorite authors are
Michael Crichton (Congo, Travels, Jurassic
Park), H.G. Wells (Time Machine, War of the
Worlds) and Thomas Harris (Red Dragon, Silence
of the Lambs). Dr. Seuss is also pretty cool
when I'm in an intellectual mood.
television
On TV, I never miss Party
of Five or Ally McBeal (even though
Jane is snappish). Come on people, watch these shows (Monday and Wednesday
nights on Fox!) I also
like to watch ER
and sometimes 90210.
music
As far as music goes,
I like a variety, but tend to lean toward alternative
and rock. Some of my favorites include
Tori Amos, Jewel,
Fiona Apple, Sarah McLachlan,
and Trent Reznor. I also like to listen to
movie
soundtracks (Braveheart, Aliens, and lots of John
Williams) while writing. (Just no country music, please.) Recently,
I've been listening to a lot of the Trainspotting
soundtrack.
(Above
are the covers of two great albums: "Essential" by the Divinyls, and
"Save The Linoleum" by Jewel.)
work
I do online
consulting and web design for companies
and advertising agencies. I'm particularly interested in creating sites
for the entertainment industry, from filmmaking-related vendors to home
theater. For more info, email me.
I was lead
designer and director of an interactive multiplayer version of a
Fox television show for News
Corp. (I also directed the live action
in LA.) I'm also designer of the Official
Divinyls Home Page.
I was a forum
manager on Delphi Internet
for over five years. Until recently, I hosted the Sports Connection Online,
Fox Television's FOXtalk (including Melrose
Place Online and 90210 Online), and 20th Century
Fox Films SIG. I also co-hosted the official X-Files
SIG, where I conducted the first online conference ever with David
Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, and Chris
Carter. (Click here to read the transcript.)
The Sports Connection Online was called one
of the "99 Coolest Hangouts Online" by Compute Magazine.
I've completed three
feature-length screenplays, including
a drama called By Accident (a
mix between ER
and Party of Five
revolving around a group of young EMT/paramedics) and a horror/action script
about alien abductions called Zeta.
I've also beta-tested
for Sierra Online,
on games like "Phantasmagoria" and "Gabriel
Knight." I also designed several levels for Dynamix's "Incredible
Toons."
misc
I own an 8" Meade Starfinder
Equatorial telescope. To see my very first
photo of the moon, try to find a loose brick
on the main page. I also
have two sets of tarot cards and have been
practicing with them. (Actually, when I'm in the right mood I've been told
I'm pretty accurate.)
I have a custom home
theater in my basement. It features a video
projector (with component inputs and line doubler), 90" screen,
laserdisc player (with Dolby Digital output), Nintendo 64, Playstation,
and Pioneer Dolby Pro-Logic Reciever. I'll be upgrading the audio portions
soon. There are about three-hundred feet of half-inch Monster speaker wires
built into the walls (which are insulated to keep loud movies from bothering
the rest of the house.)
photos
At the request of many
nagging people, I've put this photo online. It was taken on June 26th,
1997 at my house after a relatively boring day. I know I look young and
no, I don't smoke anything. (Really.) I hate personal pictures (which is
why I'm usually the one taking the pics). Don't ask me to comb my
hair or smile... that's just plain pushing your luck. :)
Above are some pictures
of people I know. First is my lovely and talented (and sometimes bitchy)
sister with her Fender Strat.
She plays varsity field hockey, so don't mess with her. The second picture
is Corie, who happens to have an
amazing singing voice and almost equally impressive personality, but unfortunately
she speaks not a word of english. Behind door number three is Nicole, a
major player, but we enjoy having her around because she laughs at all
our jokes. Just don't let her drive your car.
