As a young man, Kerry performed in lots of Rodeos. Riding bulls and roping calves was all he knew until his acting debut in a junior high school play. Although he didn't pursue acting until early 1980s, it was always in the back of his mind. Through a series of events, Kerry found himself involved in the movie biz, and he really enjoyed it. From stunts to acting, Kerry now has 67 movies under his belt, and he found it was about time to start up his own company.

In 2004, Fast Talk'n Productions was born. From producing to directing and starring in his own projects, he felt he was now accomplishing his goal -- to make movies that are talked about all over the world. When Kerry's not on the set, he manages a 40-acre ranch, raising cows and horses in his home town of Lampasas, Texas. As for his future film pursuits, he foresees a positive outcome attributed greatly to the incredible film crew with whom he has teamed up, folks as passionate about the film industry as he is.

After placing in numerous film festivals (Flatlands FIlm Festival, FantasticFest Bloodshots Film Competition, Dismember the Alamo) and producing commercial content for company's such as Balfour and the Austin School of Film, Q made his feature film debut on Conflict of Interest. The movie tells the story of an African blogger whose life is put in danger when he speaks out against and American Senator who has shady dealings with a violent general of his home country of Mombaire.

Q's view of his professional life is summed up in his artist statement: "The one unifying goal of my adult life has been to push my own personal envelope in every project I tackle. I am never satisfied with my present level of knowledge or my current skillset. My mind is full of more ideas, stories, concepts, and campaigns than I will ever be able to implement, but a life spent trying is the only existence worth living."
