Who I am
I was born in Illinois, raised in Missouri, and now I’m based in Atlanta, Georgia. I’ve been obsessed with movies since I was eight—not the noise, but the intention. That moment I realized every shot, every line, every cut was a choice—that someone made it on purpose. It hit like a lightning bolt. I didn’t just want to watch films. I wanted to build them. Break them. Bleed into them.
That obsession carried me through an MFA in Professional Screenwriting, where I immersed myself in the craft. Since then, I’ve written stories that have picked up recognition at Austin, Nashville, Vail, Screencraft, Scriptapalooza—and my script The Battles of Birdtown has been a finalist and multi-time quarterfinalist across the country. Most recently, three of my scripts (The Reservist, Here For This, and my short Keep Driving) were honored at the Richmond International Film Festival, with Keep Driving named an official selection. Festivals are great, but they’re not the reason I write.
I write because life has left its mark. Grief, addiction, fractured family, trauma that doesn’t tie up neatly in a bow—those are the scars that shaped me, and they’re what bleed through into my work. My scripts are about survival, shame, silence, and the moments that break you open and show you who you actually are.
And that’s what this site is for. To find the people who want to go there with me—reps who believe in stories that cut deeper, collaborators who aren’t afraid of the mess, actors who want roles they can sink their teeth into, filmmakers looking for projects with real weight. If that’s you, then you’re in the right place.
