About Thomas

Before diving into my current screenwriting projects, I spent a decade as a transformation project manager by day and another decade as a songwriter and lyricist for indie artists by night. These experiences allowed me to work in boardrooms, collaborate on projects with refugees and foster children, and partner with bands and musicians aiming to tell better stories through music. By blending my real-world experiences with my creative work, I strive to bring a down-to-earth feel to my screenwriting, even in supernatural or sci-fi scripts. I aim for narratives that feel both poetic and real.
