Me

The name Cactusjump is a reference to a line in the film The Magnificent Seven when Steve McQueen's character Vin says:

It's like a fellow I once knew in El Paso. One day, he just took all his clothes off and jumped in a mess of cactus. I asked him that same question, "Why?"...He said, "It seemed to be a good idea at the time.

I live by that quote...plus it's my favorite film of all time.

Currently I work in the entertainment industry as a writer and producer in Los Angeles. This means, of course, that I have a sense of humor. I'm just not allowed to use it much.
