About Us

 Larry was born in Germany, where beer comes from.  He has been on stage in one form or another from age 6.  He has been in two bands, one comedy team, a variety of stage plays and musicals and all this before joining the Army to drive a tank.    

After being tankless in Iraq and Afghanistan, he was honorably discharged at the rank of SGT. He then went to College and studied Sociology getting a Batchelors in Sociology with a minor in American Studies from Penn State.  He is a published writer with multiple works from fiction to research.    

He is an acclaimed pro wrestling ring announcer and commentator, having produced and running audio for local pro wrestling federations.  

You can find him reading a comic, watching a cartoon, building with Lego, and cracking wise.  If not for his lovely wife, he would not be able to do such things. 

 Larry met Jim for a College interview on the dangers of wrestling, and after shouting 86! at some poor unsuspecting human, they forged an alliance Larry is grateful to have. 

Jim began performing at the tender age of 6 and has not stopped for 40 years.  His years of stage experience gave him a vast education on everything from lighting to set construction to make-up.  This prepared him for his first steps in film when he and 4 friends formed Rising Phoenix Productions.  As CEO of the RPP, Jim guided a tallented team in creating their first film; "Dark Operations: A Dark Odyssey Begins," for which Jim acted as the project's writer and director.  After releasing the first film in 2007, Jim would go on to Executive Produce and edit a horror film, "Pain Management," and join his RPP team on a number of 48 Hour Film Projects, for which the company has received an award for costuming.  Jim would continue on to write and direct three other "Dark Ops" films, all fo which are currenly in post production.  

A published writer, Jim has spent the last 6 years as part of the creative team at Super Star Wrestling, producting monthly live shows.  

In addition to both RPP and Attic Light, Jim owns Big Daddy's Barbershop and Shave Parlor where he can be found cutting hair and performing straight razor shaves in between filming gigs.  

Jim loves to travel, with Las Vegas being his favorite destination, has an affinity for all things Tiki, and enjoys both toy collecting and model trains in his spare time.
