Who?

I'm a software engineer as well as an aspiring mystery novelist and a B-Rate television and movie extra. I don't have any delusions of being "discovered," I just do it so that I can take really cool pictures of the rich and famous in their natural habitat. I also do technical reviews for Addison Wesley.

So What Do You Do?

At the moment I work for a really cool company in San Diego called InfoGation, which does In-car computing.

Working On Anything Cool?

If you consider COM programming and Windows CE to be cool. The latest movie I can be spotted in is "The Base II" which will probably be premiering soon at a Blockbuster near you. Don't feel bad, I've never heard of "Base I" either. I play a presidental aide in the blue dress, which is a neat bit of irony considering my first name. I also play the slightly out of focus girl who sits behind Antonio Sabato Jr. in the courtroom, and counsul for the defense for a seperate trial. I say seperate because they appear in different parts of the movie, but they were shot at the same time, which resulted in a zillion costume changes for me in a 15 hour time span. The crew was greatly amused to see me running up and down the corridors of the Halls of Justice every three minutes and would sometimes shout "Quick! The director wants you change back into the other outfit!" just to get a cheap laugh at my reaction. The thing is, they weren't always joking.
