    I was the improv voice actor for the character Xion Praeten in the top-rated D&D 5e podcast, "Godsfall." Check it out on godsfall.com or find the podcast on iTunes.
  • Los Angeles Blade
    Acting Online Editor
    Los Angeles Blade Mar 2017 - Apr 2017

    I helped to launch the Los Angeles Blade website and trained the new staff of the L.A. Blade to become self-sufficient in maintaining their website.
  • Director
    "Wait" By Tom Goss Sep 2014 - Oct 2014
    Washington, D.C.
    I directed the Tom Goss music video, "Wait."
  • Co-Director
    "You Don'T Know How Hard" By Justin Jaymes Oct 2013 - Feb 2014
    Petworth, D.C.
    I co-directed "You Don't Know How Hard" by the fictional character, Justin Jaymes (played by Tom Goss). It was meant as an ironic take on gay narcissism.
  • Co-Director
    "Bears" By Tom Goss May 2013 - Jul 2013
    Brookland, D.C.
    "Bears" was a light-hearted and high-camp romp of a music video. It is our most successful to date in terms of views, and was great fun to direct. It was the most intense we have ever attempted, with literally hundreds of extras and a large cast. We were able to put it together because we have such an experienced crew now that have worked together for several music videos.
  • Co-Director
    "Make Believe" By Tom Goss Sep 2012 - Oct 2012
    Washington, D.C.
    This fun romp of a video used the technique of time-lapse, with the song playing extremely slowly as we filmed. Real-time can be tracked by looking at the clock — the minute hand keeps the time. It was a nearly-continuous shot for 80 minutes. It was great fun working with great artists and getting the whole thing together.

    Photo Director
    2012 Capital Pride Guide Mar 2012 - May 2012
    Washington, D.C.

  • Director
    "It'S All Over" By Tom Goss Jul 2011 - Oct 2011
    Washington D.C. Metro Area
    We wanted to release something fun after the heaviness of "Lover," so this is a fun little music video — a gift for the fans, many of whom were in the video.
  • Washington Blade
    Staff Photographer
    Washington Blade Mar 2010 - May 2011
    Washington, D.C.
    I took pictures in the House, Senate, White House, and at LGBT events throughout the region. I took nightlife pictures at LGBT events. Also, I managed the 40-year photo archive and prepared photos for the website.
  • First Assistant Director
    "Lover" By Tom Goss Sep 2010 - Nov 2010
    Washington D.C. Metro Area
    The music video "Lover," a tale of loss focusing on the issue of gays in the military, played on MTV's Logo and was a big hit for us. We released it right around the time that "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was being voted on for repeal. It was picked up on every major (and many not-so-major) LGBT news/features outlet.
  • Dc Agenda (Bnp Omnimedia)
    Staff Photographer
    Dc Agenda (Bnp Omnimedia) Nov 2009 - Mar 2010
