After helping 3,000+ high school students chase big dreams, I’m finally chasing my own: screenwriting!

 

My stories explore reluctant characters battling soul-crushing systems: their struggles, sacrifices, and triumphs.  (SEVERANCE and PLUR1BUS are in my DNA!)

​

My first two screenplays placed in multiple competitions, and I'm now sending out my third.

​

Before teaching, I had two other careers: documentary filmmaking during the NYC indie film movement, and brand strategizing during the dawn of internet advertising. Both careers strengthened my love of storytelling.

​

When I’m not writing, I'm traveling, listening to podcasts, and watching movies with my wife, son, and our chocolate Lab—who thinks every film is an opportunity to squeak ALL his toys. Am I alone in this?
