Writer. Dad. Won a script contest, had a Black List thing. Took 20x longer to sell my first script than 12 yr old me thought possible. Now I write TV fluff to feed the fam. And everything else to feed the fire | VERVE 🤘

Relentlessly positive, socially awkward writer here. I write a buncha TV movies under a few barely-disguised aliases. Got some fun, bigger things in development, like a series I sold to a streamer last year & an action thriller with my dream cast gearing up to shoot. Let’s connect! #screenwriting
Holy moly! Just sold my 6th project of 2025!! Second with producer extraordinaire @lexilewis !!! I’ve been dreaming about a year like this since I was 8 years old. So so wildly thankful. #screenwriting

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves truly gets better with every watch. Instant comfort movie. I need to win the lottery so I can fund at least two more of these. Same cast. Same crew. I’ll pay all the money.

All I wanna do is write the thing I’m not getting paid to write even though I wanna finish the next step of the thing I am getting paid to write so I can get paid more and then write the thing I’m not getting paid to write. So, naturally, time to procrastinate.
