There are so many things which fascinate me as person and shaped me into the person that I am now. When I was a kid I liked Transformers because it was different and really made me use my imagination. Something about giant robots from another planet was the most original idea created by a toy company.
Out of all the people that influenced me was my best friend Johnathan when he introduced me into the world of science fiction. It started out with stuff like 'Quantum Leap', 'Star Trek' and 'The X-Files'. The one show that interests me the most was 'The Twilight Zone', yet to this day makes me think.
Eventually I was fully hooked on cinema and television. I don't know how that happened but I blame Quentin Tarantino and his love making movies. Being a filmmaker allowed me to be creative in ways I never thought possible. My first script was largely influenced by J.J. Abrams and his show "Alias". People like Bryan Fuller, J.J. Abrams and Judd Apatow gave me a reason to think outside the box.
Somewhere in the mix of things I also became a fan of several other things which include comic books, Anime and I've been a gamer since the introduction of the Atari 2600. The last statement might give hint of how old I am but I don't care. Bottom line is that I was born to be a geek, it's who I am and I suppose always will be. One thing I've learned is that more I change as person, the more things still stay the same in terms of what I like.
