Hailing from the wilds of North Carolina, I spent my formative years drawing my own comic books, and crafting galaxy-spanning sagas with my homemade toys. After a lengthy detour with a career in the software industry, I decided to dust off my artistic dreams and get back to creating. I became an editor in Hollywood, working on low-budget horror movies and award-winning documentaries. But after time spent playing with other peoples' toys, I decided to craft my own, and transfer the stories in my head to the written page. Over the last several years I have dedicated my energies towards screenwriting, producing several almost-award-winning original screenplays in the process. My goal is a lofty one: sitting in a darkened theater and seeing my work up on the big screen.
Unique traits: Twisted sense of humor. Cat whisperer. Comic book historian. Sushi lover.
