I have a passion for screenwriting and storytelling. I like to write stories about real-life situations with a twist of suspense and horror. I like using “The Screenwriter’s Bible” and “Save the Cat” as tools of the trade. When writing scripts, I pin down the title and logline before developing the core story. I like using the magnificent seven plot points for story structure.

My script, IT HAPPENED ALONG THE ROAD, a feature thriller, was selected as a Semifinalist, Filmmatic Horror Screenplay Awards Season 8, a Semifinalist SWN Feature-Length Screenplay Competition (Summer 2023), a Finalist for the Page Turner, 2022 Screenplay Awards , a Quarterfinalist in the 2023 Emerging Screenwriters Genre Competition, a Quarterfinalist, Filmmatic - Pitch Now Screenplay Competition Season 5, a Quarterfinalist in the 2023 Richmond International Film Festival, and a Quarterfinalist SWN Feature-Length Screenplay Competition (Summer 2023). My script, MALUM, a horror feature, was the #3 most requested script on the VPF hotlist. And I wrote a horror short story called HELP ME, PLEASE! It was selected as a Quarterfinalist for the Filmmatic Short Screenplay Awards (Season 7). My script, THE TRAIL TO SANTA FE, was selected as a Quarterfinalist in the Golden Script Competition.

Cheers,
