About Me

  • About Me: I'm someone who's not only an aspiring film maker/actor(?)/novelist, but more importantly, someone who's trying to progress, grow up more so than before, so as to enhance my creativity, my walk with God, and so much more. I'm not getting any younger, so why continue this wasteful quagmire? In short, I want to be a more matured, low-maintenance professional who wants to be agreeable to as many people as possible: key word; possible, i.e. be more pragmatic while following the principles of Jesus Christ.
