A product of a Washington, D.C. upbringing I made a foray into the screenwriting world in March 2024. As of the end of 2024 I had completed four feature screenplays, three Short scripts, two TV pilots, and am currently writing my fifth and sixth features, an action/sci-fi thriller, and a detective-driven crime drama.
My bread and butter is the fantastical world of science-fiction and fantasy, both as a writer and as a fanatic consumer of the genres in both film and literature. I am also a massive fan of British/Irish crime/detective series. Before starting to write scripts I wrote, for personal enjoyment, mostly short stories (also part of a nonfiction manuscript), and toyed with the idea of compiling them into a book. Currently I am primarily concentrating on honing my screenwriting skills and becoming as technically proficient in the craft as I can.
My professional writing experience, to-date, stems from positions held at times over the past decade or so. Since writing my first script I have been (somewhat surprisingly) enamored with writing in this particular format, completed nine screenplays in total by the end of 2024, and would like to finish at least one script per month in 2025. Also working on my first novel, but have slowed on that front as I continue to work on the screenplay portfolio (sorry Scrivener...).
