I am a writer/director from Reno, NV. My passion is telling tales of life, love, music, heartbreak and inspiration.
I have been working in the gambling industry as a video producer for more than a decade, where I write and record VO and video sessions with celebrity talent, as well as procuring in game video content.
In 2015 I won the Jameson First Shot competition and was fortunate enough to make my short film "The Library Book", with Adrien Brody. You can see it here... ?v=qPtBcSedYv0
I'm looking to make the jump from narrative short films into full length features. I've recently completed writing my fifth full length script and am well under way to writing a sixth.
I am someone who wears his heart on his sleeve. There is power in vulnerability. In this age of absurdity in which we live, revealing one’s true self honestly is an act of courage.
