flourish. A country besieged 23 times, attacked 52 times, captured 44 times, recaptured 44 times and today is
barely 70 years old. My mother from the start of my life felt the need to protect me as a registered American
birth overseas. Being as the war and ongoing terror seemed endless if not more intense in 1972, she fled to
America and that is how grew up in Florida. By age of 17 compelled to know the country I was born and meet
the family still have their, was involved with a special overseas program through my high school which would
involve learning a nonreligious historical perspective of the region. When arriving had hoped to stay until 18,
but could not due to the risk of being forced to serve in the Israeli Army and lose US citizenship. Remembering that summer at my aunt’s house in the Judean side of the mountains, where from the balcony saw a
plume of smoke, rushed into the news reporting a Palestinian had just hijacked the bus and drove it off the cliff in protest, killing 39 Innocent people and himself a terrorist. To me, that was the first-hand realization of the extremist brutality of this country, it was 1988. That same trip a bomb had gone off in a park the entire school had just been at the day prior. We had just learned about the instability of the region is so close the Jordanian border. Living there was diverse and intense time to get to live through first-hand attacks every other day that the world seems immune to. That haunted me the rest of my life. The
experience was breathtaking life changing seeing true customs and culture and history of all religions. That is why feel I'm one of the best qualified middle eastern movie television advisor. Once back in the U.S and being a fifth generation military family, having seen the Gulf War where for the first time America was going to attack neighboring states to Israel, I immediately enlisted in the Army and was granted clearance in 1992.
Challenging myself to become an Army Rangers training with America's best. This training included small unit leaders course, combat expert rifle, combat pistol expert, grenadier, light armor, advanced anti-tank
missiles( dragon, tow 2 and javelin) I.E.D. improvised explosive device, Sea, and land navigation. (R.I.P.) Ranger indoctrination Program, Airborne, Infantry program among other things. In all had fired expert or was trained upon over one hundred fifty weapon systems including middle eastern weapons and weapons of the far east
became well versed. Personally, I enjoyed my military service and my extended military family which today
includes 5 active duty members 3 deployed.
After the military using my G.I. Bill graduated a golden key national honor society member receiving a
bachelor’s degree in Finance with a minor in International Marketing at Florida Atlantic University in, Boca
Raton, Florida in 1998. That same year was picked to be cosmo's bachelor of the year, Aaron Spelling as a Marine, then was hired for the Oliver Stone’s Any Given Sunday as well as my first of many
comedy roles in Vince Dirosa’s Smokin’ Stogies. All of this in the same year is why left for Hollywood, CA by
1999. Arriving in Hollywood Hills which oddly looks a lot like Jerusalem, immediately went to work for a
producer as a proofreader/ script advisor, focus primary on the aspect of writing a good story that was within
the budget. Plus did many military consulting scripts for writers both TV and FILM that lead to work in all
aspects of production. By 2002 was signed by Associated Artist Management to be their middle eastern
military advisor consultant which lead to joining SAG in 2005. It cannot all be great and in 2005 tragically the
owner of Associated Artist passed away. We brought the agency back on its feet and it's still running to this
day.
Yet, what very quickly learned that one advisor alone seldom knows everything needed. Today have endless
resources of friends from in the military, and from those friends and advisors that have met the many
years working in the movie and television industry. To me what matters is the story. A good story prevails
that is why am flexible with my advising tactics, cause this is not a real war or real life situation, that would be a
documentary on the History channel, ultimately this is for on camera, there for what is necessary to me is to
give the audience the best entertainment of the story!
