I'm a storyteller originally from Bolingbrook, Illinois. I currently live in Los Angeles, California. I've been telling stories since before I could type. As a kid, I would say the recite the story and my mom would type it out for me. I was also fascinated with directing and visual effects. I went on to attend Columbia College Chicago and graduated with a BA in Film and Video and a concentration in Directing. At the age of 27, I moved to Los Angeles and got into the industry through music videos. I created my company, Nocturnal FX and Nocturnal Operations, which a VFX and Post Production company. I realized that working on myself and experiencing life is just as important in working for my career. This has drastically increased my ability to write and tell stories. I'm excited to continue to create and tell my stories through screenplays.
