About me - current project:

I was the Writer/Producer of the SAG AFTRA project, the Rich Kid Rules. During this project, I graduated with an AA degree from Sac City College in Film (to add to my JD from UC Davis '88 and BA from UCLA '85) My only missing degree is a high school diploma. I dropped out in the early 1970s at 14, but that was the 1970s, and that was almost normal teen behavior. The Rich Kid Rules is a thought experiment of how "modern' rich kids blend with "poor kids" in elite sports and the arts, and that they together learn a whole different set of "rules" than what normal kids learn. The Rich Kid Rules is, in a sense, biographical to a degree because most of the "rich kid" rules were learned on the job at Mt. Baldy Ski Lifts, where I started my real life at 14 and pursued ski racing for many years, culminating in my participation on the Coors Colorado Pro tour. And, though I was not a poor kid like the character "Frankie" in the film, when I was 14, I was definitely the poor kid making my own money to afford ski racing, and I ended up marrying a "richer" girl who taught me lots of rules too.
