Does everybody remember early video games? Well back in the mid-90's, yours truly "starred" in a PacMan commercial. No, I am not an actor. I prefer to spend my working days BEHIND the camera. This was kind of a fluke, though. It all started over chips, salsa and some feisty Costa Rican beers back in 1994. Four of us - all intrepid mountain bikers - hatched this plan to marry two sports that we all enjoyed: mountain biking and scuba diving. A couple of days later, there we were, popping wheelies on the ocean floor. (Note to eco-minded people: No, we did not ravage any corals or other precious sea life.) We of course documented our adventure on video using an underwater housing, and this footage was added to the library vaults of San Diego's biggest (and only) stock footage library, New & Unique Videos.
Consequently, a clip with me mountain biking underwater, videotaped by Director of Photography, Marco Eveslage, became an instant classic on this PacMan commercial. (Look for me at about the 15-second mark.)
