Is it winter? Is it summer? #Vegas can’t make up its mind. Last week was in the 80s, this week has been blustery and cloudy; today, 50 and rainy. This is my favorite time of year.

I have spent a lot of time this week thinking about the people in my orbit. The world is rough right now, how are they doing? It’s easy to ask your family and friends those questions- but what about your employees, your co-workers?…

Recently, I switched from Monster to @celsiusofficial.bsky.social and I’m not looking back. I wanted something that supports the healthier habits I’m working on- not just caffeine for caffeine’s sake…

Is there anything scarier than a blank page? Whether an artist, or a writer; a simple blank page can either be the source of great thrill or deep seated anxiety… which is it for you? What ways do you overcome these emotions?

The best part of my job is the sheer will power of a whole team of creatives pushing together to make a single frame of film as good as it can be. I don’t demand perfection out of my team, but I expect nothing less than excellence- especially and including myself. #Animation #LasVegas #LateNight

It’s late
The wind outside my window is howling, and the entire house is vibrating. With each ticking minute I feel the possibility of a full night sleep getting further away. It’s a weird time in #Vegas not summer not winter, but a little of both at the same time. #LovinIt #Life #Rant

Watching one of the greatest #film adaptations of a #musical adapted from a #film Little Shop of Horrors. A true Menken/Ashman masterpiece made in OZ. Moranis is the embodiment of me at every time in my life, and so much nostalgia when I watch this film. One Of the two that made me fall for theatre.

This week marked one of those moments in my studio leadership journey where every moving part seemed to land at the same time.
The kind of week where you're leading, making, reacting, recovering—all at once.
Overwhelming, but also clarifying…

Happy World Theatre Day everyone. The theatre is my safe space, my happy place and the place that keeps me grounded when the world falls apart around me. Theatre fuels my creativity and my passions for film, sound and animation. #WorldTheatreDay #TheatreProfessional #TheatreKid #LasVegas

Just watched the pilot of #SabrinaTheTeenageWitch again. I forgot how unwatchable it was, surprising this show got picked up- luckily it gets better. #TV
