I went to College in San Marcos at (what is now called) Texas State University back in 1984. I worked in Nightclubs as a DJ and Manager for many years while I struggled with what i wanted to do with my life. My interest turned to photography after taking a couple of college courses. I worked my way into various jobs which eventually led to the SCUBA World TV show. I traveled to exotic locations getting valuable experience as a camera operator in places like Fiji, Caymen, and Mexico. I did some music videos which led to the heavy metal band Pantera hiring me to work on their project "Home Video 3, Watch it Go!". After the Pantera DVD made a Billboard Magazine Chart #1 debut, I received an offer to go to Los Angeles and learn how to edit on the Avid. I packed up and moved to the legendary San Fernando Valley.

In reality, moving to L.A. turned out to be working on porno projects to pay the bills. I was creating feature-length, story-driven erotic films with the biggest name stars for companies like Wicked Pictures and Vivid under the alias Red Ezra. There was ALWAYS work. I was a successful freelancer editing, shooting, writing, directing, and producing for more than twelve years on over 200 movies. Ultimately, juggling many jobs working freelance is not what I wanted to do. I thought, why am I here? I was ready to call it done and move on to something more challenging. I decided to move home to Texas to focus on getting back to my personal art.


My first and last night as papparazzi in Hollyweird, just kidding - it's a movie set!
I'm Mac, not PC - since 1984.

I'm addicted to Squidbillies, Family Guy, and South Park.

I love to travel but I am uncomfortable flying.

I wear boots and my favorite beer is Bud Light.

My football teams are the Dallas Cowboys and UT Longhorns.

I play poker and have dreams of being a pro, but I only play limit Texas Hold-em.
