I was born in 1952 and have had an adventurous life. I was a paratrooper and served in Vietnam. I was an exchange student to Heidelberg, West Germany, as well as graduate student at the FU Berlin in West Berlin. I had dual BA of German Literature and Anthropology-Archeology. MA in US History, museum, and archivist studies. I worked as an archeologist in Guatemala, Israel, and West Bank/Palestine. I studied Arabic in Lebanon and Egypt, and Russian in Saint Petersburg, Russia. I studied Chinese at Clemson University.

I retired from the Library of Congress as a German Specialist. I began stage acting rather late but will stick with community stage theater. I have been in several documentaries which ran on the Learning Channel regarding ancient languages. (My late father was a TV actor in an early police show; his brother a Shakespearean actor in England.) I am primarily interested in working as an extra in film, as well as parts in indie projects. Since I have a good retirement, I can take parts for little or no pay.

I can play roles in the legal profession. My late father worked in the California Attorney General's office as well as a prison administrator. I was a federal union chief steward and won every case, including over forty Unfair Labor Practices.

Move over Indiana Jones!!! I worked as an archeologist and laughed at Hollywood's portrayal of us. Sometimes I wore shorts and sandals, other times I wore jeans and boots. I never dressed like I was on safari. Sometimes it could be dangerous: falling off a pyramid, being bitten by venomous snakes, or running into robbers. It was always fun, though. I worked the first season of El Mirador, Guatemala, which Josh Gates finally visited forty years later. See photos section.

My military folder shows I really know about this. I was a paratrooper and can say something about foreign airborne units such as British, Rhodesian, Israeli, etc. I can also say something about the military use of horses and tracking. See photos section.

Like every other interest in my life, I take my modeling seriously. I am no Fabio, but I still look pretty good at 70.  Quite a few photographers-directors aren’t interested in employing real seniors; most advertisements show supposed seniors, but they simply hire 50-year-olds and dye their hair grey. Another issue is that most male model-actors refuse to appear nude. I’ve never had this problem. There are many great movies, stage plays, modern dance, and performance art that demands nudity. My age group needs to show others that we can still feel and be sexy.
