I was born and raised in Seguin, Texas.  After serving in the U. S Navy, I returned to SWTSU in San Marcos, Texas, to complete my B.A.  During my career as an insurance agent, I traveled frequently, mostly to Cozumel, Mexico where I wrote my first movie, ROBO.  I began to write because I’m very unhappy with all the R rated, blood and gore, violent movies being produced.  Violence is NOT entertainment to me. 

I want to laugh. I want to have fun and enjoy everyday to its fullest.

I have always loved movies from Charlie Chan and Sherlock Holmes to Betty Davis and Bogart to Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.  My favorite TV series is I Love Lucy. The comedy writers for I Love Lucy were so talented. Rodney Dangerfield is my favorite stand up comic with Jerry Seinfeld as second favorite.  I wrote a few comedy movies such as ROBO, then Chicks, Mapache and then GONE, all comedies.  I also created The Escapades of ROBO, Chicks Dos, and the prequel to Chicks.  All comedies and all rated G.  I wrote, directed, and produced The Chip Scifi Drama and The Chip Munk Scifi Comedy which are R rated due to the topics.  I tried to make The Chip funny but was not able.  These are my test movies that are streaming on YouTube.com.

Besides writing comedies, I love to snorkel, watch men’s tennis, NFL football and NBA basketball.  I created the word ROMACOM, which means romantic comedy.  ROM COM sounded too much like a scientific term.  I also created the Crack Up scenes.  I place these scenes with the end credits.  To be honest, I think the Crack Up scenes are funnier than the movie.

I’m currently in pre-production for my next movie, Mapache, a romacom, that will be filmed on locations in Port Aransas, TX and San Antonio.   I produce Funny, Fun Films.  I hope you enjoy them half as much as I did writing them.

Please Laugh!
