Began my career in the Motion Picture and Television Industry in the Set Dressing Department in 1985 in New Orleans, LA. I soon found my way to Atlanta, GA where I lived for 11 years. While in Atlanta I began to On-Set Dress, Lead and quite quickly became a Property Master. In 1997 I moved to Los Angeles and joined IATSE Local 44 and worked as a Property Master, Assistant Property Master, 2nd Lead, Gang Boss and Set Dresser. Late in 2005 I relocated to the mountains of Western North Carolina. I decided to join IATSE 478 in my home town of New Orleans in 2010 where work seems plentiful. Although I do commute to Los Angeles and, of course, anywhere necessary to secure the next project, I am concentrating on work in the Southeast as it keeps me closer to home.
