Biografi
Originally from North Dakota, Kirk moved to California in 1996 to pursue his dreams working in show biz. He's proud to be a Nodak, and owes a lot of his success to his friends and family back home, especially his hometowns of Flaxton and Minot.
Kirk started as an actor, doing theatre, commercials, film/TV, which led him to some unique opportunities in the Midwest, where he began writing and producing, with a focus on documentaries and commercials. He found his way back to LA in the late 2000's, where he began focusing more on features and TV development.
Kirk's unique background includes launching film finance company Northern Lights, sales company Conduit, and his own production company Badlands Features. He's produced improvised comedies, directed risky documentaries, and written and produced a hodge-podge of commercials and shorts. He's held a wide range of crazy jobs like marketing a semi-pro basketball league, dealing blackjack in a dive bar, acting on a children's TV show with puppets, and starting his own 24-hour antique delivery service, "Wake up, Kirk," in Venice Beach. He's performed in indie films, TV shows, plays, and guest speaking events, where he often re-lives how a random meeting with a casting director led to him start his own business. He loves traveling, especially to unique spots, film festivals, and any place with a story to share, and good people to meet.
