Biography: Writing is a passion. I can't think of anything better than bringing a story to life and making characters leap off of the page.

In addition to the short scripts listed below, I have completed several full length screenplays - some originals, some adaptations.

I've found that adaptations are particularly fun. I love the challenge of finding the best way to produce a tight, visual script while retaining the essence of the source material.
