I am an actor, environmentalist, and producer. I grew up in Boulder, CO, before coming to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting. I love spending time with my friends and family, taking my dog Tina on walks, staying healthy and active, and making a positive impact on our world.

I've partnered with Los Angeles movie producer Michelle Purple, to create our new production company, Iron Ocean Films. Our first short film, "Hole in the Paper Sky", was recently viewed at The Beverly Hills Short Festival and won two awards, Best Drama, and Best Director (Bill Purple).

I co-founded Make the Difference Network with my father and a group of caring social entrepreneurs. MTDN is a cause-oriented social network which provides technology and tools to nonprofit organizations to raise awareness and funds for their causes.

The Wild Animal Sanctuary is the oldest and largest nonprofit refuge for captive large carnivores in North America, with over 150 lions, tigers, bears and other animals in residence.
