Inspirations and Highlights FILMMAKING AmerAsian3 (2009) -- I'm currently in development for the third installment of my feature film trilogy. Eric, whose life all three stories revolve around, gets lured back onto the college baseball field once more, but this time, with surprisingly different motivation. When he arrives at school, he meets an entirely new set of characters with even more problems. Pre-production is scheduled to begin in late 2007. American Asian (2008) www.IMDB.com/title/tt0855705/ – We're soon wrapping principle photography and pickups on my second feature. A victim of racism, Eric borrows an identity to re-enroll in college in an attempt to erase discerning memories involving his late father. When he arrives at school, he slowly learns that all of his closest friends have recently lost someone very close to their hearts, leading him toward the most crucial game of his life. Hidden Identities, Lost Loved Ones, Banned Substances, Racism & Redemption. AmerAsian (2008) www.IMDB.com/title/tt0437065/ – I'm nearing completion on my first feature writing, directing, and producing effort. Eric, an American-born Asian, borrows an identity to regain his baseball eligibility for an extra year so he can chase his pro baseball dream one last time. However, when he connects with Monica, the victimized daughter of his sexually abusive coach, he must then weigh the importance of his own needs against the rapid consequences of Monica's self-destructive behavior. Stolen Identity, Manipulation, Jealousy, Revenge & Deceit. Rush Hour 2 (2001) My first-ever job behind the camera was as Jackie Chan's stand-in during latter stages of production. Watching Jackie work with Brett Ratner was an extremely enlightening experience, teaching me the value of timing, precision & perfection. ACTING- Rumor Has It (2005). My most recent role of note was opposite Kevin Costner and Jennifer Aniston in this Rob Reiner film. Although my scene didn't make the final cut, the residual checks may mean I'm on the DVD. Gyro For Hire (2003) – My first lead was in this short film. Although it will probably never be released, the experience gave me the know-how and the confidence to wear many different hats on the same project. Vanilla Sky (2001)- My first, most memorable role was as a SWAT officer shouting obscenities at David Aames (Tom Cruise) to drop his gun. When he didn't comply, I was forced to shoot him and his psychiatrist (Kurt Russell) with my semi-automatic machine gun, all part of David's lucid dream. Although this scene didn't make the final cut either, the role proved to be a huge turning point for me. Director Cameron Crowe was phenomenal to work for and from that day, I knew what I needed to do the rest of my life. Some other notable guest roles include working opposite Jennifer Garner in Alias, Terry Bradshaw in a Global PC infomercial, Hideo Nomo in a Nike commercial, and recording various skits for Jay Leno's Tonight Show. OTHER EXPERIENCE- 10+ years of professional print, body part, and tradeshow modeling working 100+ print campaigns including Mercedes, Sprint, Carnival Cruiselines, Hewlett Packard, Miller Lite, Cisco Systems, iPod & several Las Vegas resorts and casinos.

BASEBALL- All-City pitcher at Lowell High after winning the school's first-ever playoff-championship game at Candlestick Park.
