I was born in Sacramento, but grew up in Maryland, Upstate New York, Philadelphia, and ultimately Sacramento again. When I asked my high school college counselor where I could apply, they told me I should either move to Hollywood or work at an electronics store. I decided on going to college and becoming a historian after being tied up in an armed robbery when I was working at a Philadelphia RadioShack. My career pivoted when realizing the effectiveness of teaching through historically accurate films. Inexplicably, I spend the majority of my time writing fictional comedies.

After my family was evacuated from the Lone Lobo Fire in 2017, I began working at Tesla full-time in hopes of achieving a sustainable future. In my spare time I write screenplays, direct and produce short films, and volunteer as a videographer for nonprofit and educational organizations. While I am working on several projects at the moment, I am perhaps most proud and passionate about my feature-length script "Born Again" which is presently making the rounds in screenplay festivals around the world.
