My writing credits include 7 feature length screenplays, 2 TV shows (one currently in development), 2 books of poetry, and a memoir. I have placed in the top percentiles of several writing competitions and won Grand Prize for a short film competition in Cannes. My subjects are informed by my experience as an actor and do-nearly-anything work history. I have held over a hundred different jobs; everything from digging ditches to owning an art gallery and running a film festival to french-fry taste testing. To say that I have seen it, done it, and been there is an understatement. I consider myself to be the most transparent person on the internet and you can find out everything about me on my website. While I present outwardly as totally awesome and amazing, I consider myself more grounded than my public persona, which is fantastic.
