My background as an actor & storyteller gives me a unique perspective to problem solve and get creative for my clients.

The freedom and flexibility to fly out to LA to shoot a project is HUGE. Most actors have to request off of a shift or get permission from their boss, I’m very fortunate – I just get to say “I’m going.” 🙂

One of my first transactions I negotiated 100,000 off of the price tag. It was alot of back and forth, but seeing how happy my clients were made it all worth it.
