Bio

I'm a screenwriter living in L.A. I've written five feature screenplays but truth be told I spend an inordinate amount of time AVOIDING writing. I'm a big fan of movies, television and pop culture. I work a little (just enough to pay the rent), work out a lot (hey--it IS L.A.!) and spend way too much time inside my own head.
