Education

About me

I am a very sociable and creative person with numerous skills--some have called me a "Renaissance Man" because of many diverse interests and areas that I have excelled in, with no training (i.e., producing and hosting my own successful cable TV show with no training or education in broadcasting). I have also been a teacher, an Employment Counselor, A Medical Social Worker, a Public Speaker, a lecturer, a bookstore owner/operator, a Mr. Male America (Mr. Florida) contestant, have appeared in print in a magazine commercial), have earned two Master's degrees and retired from the world of work 8-5 grind three years ago. I have been running my own photography business since January of 2000 (totally self taught) and am an expert at the use of Photoshop for digital image editing. I love my work when I have the chance to flex my creative muscles and, when I'm immersed in creative endeavors hours feel like minutes, and I have a LOT of energy and persistence when I'm involved in doing things that I take pride in. I want to get back into commercial acting now that I have the free time to go to as many "castings" as possible and all the time in the world to do so--I have also considered auditioning tor voice-overs which I can do in English as well as in Spanish and have a facility for. . Acting will take precedence over all of my other many interests.
Additional skills:
Swimming, Karate (Purple Belt in Shorinryu, Okinawan style, Green Belt in Shotokan, Japanese style), weight training (Nautilus and free weights), driving stick shift, speak fluent English and Spanish, some French and Italian, radio announcer (DJ) in Barranquilla, Colombia.
Additional information:
Retired but looking to get back into TV commercial acting - I used to audition for TV commercials and was hired as a principle actor in three TV ads, two of which were national and one local (one was an infomercial where I had a lengthy speaking part in Spanish which was national--the other nationally televised commercial ran for two years in states with large Hispanic populations, and I received a second $1000.00 a year after I was filmed for that commercial).
