HELLO!

Welcome to my website where you can learn more about me than you’d likely ever want to know. Here you’ll find samples of my work, credits and upcoming projects. It may sound like a cliché to some, or an over exaggeration to others, but filmmaking and storytelling truly has been a calling for me since childhood. I am fortunate to be able to work in this industry and plan to do so until my final fade to black. Learn more about who I am below, or follow the buttons to read more about my work or contact me. Thanks for stopping by.

I have been involved in screenwriting and film production for two decades. Taking a page from some of my filmmaking idols, in my twenties I self produced several short and feature length films. This was my film school.

In 2007 I entered a nationwide contest put on by 21st Century FOX, The P.G.A. and Myspace called The Storyteller Challenge. The winner would receive a significant cash prize and a year long development deal with FOX. Based on the strength of my project (concept and short film) and my in person pitch at FOX, I was fortunate to win.

Shortly there after I read an article about Tyler Perry where he described his method for breaking into Hollywood. His focus was on audience building and the idea, that if you build an audience for one of your projects that’s large enough, Hollywood would come calling. So that’s what I did.

I created The Haunting of Sunshine Girl intellectual property, building an audience so large (over 300 Million views) Hollywood did in fact come calling. Together with my production partners, Mercedes Rose and Paige McKenzie, we worked for years to build the loyal audience of the Haunting of Sunshine Girl. The result has been a NY Times Best Selling series and a television series currently in development.

Shortly after our Sunshine Girl success we worked with Disney to develop a wholly original concept entitled, Misfits.

After The Haunting of Sunshine Girl garnered attention, I signed with APA and have been working tirelessly as a screenwriter with my writing partner, Dana Speer, ever since. Together, we’ve covered both film and television, developing projects with producers, Sherryl Clark (Cloverfield, Morning Glory), Paul Stupin (Dawson’s Creek, Switched at Birth), Black Label Media (La La Land, 12 Strong), John Wirth (Hell On Wheels, Wu Assassins) and Scott C. Silver (CrtlMovie).

In addition to my professional work, I am a busy family man. When not working, I spend much of my time as an amateur taxi driver for my four very specific clients (my kids) as they need shuttling from one activity to another.
