Writer Biography - Gregory Burgess

Born and raised in Marin County, California, my claim to fame was growing up next door to George Lucas while he created THX1138 (my personal favorite). I have always enjoyed the movies and the excitement that they bring to all of us. Before plunging into screenwriting I have sailed around the world, taught special education, worked as a quarantine officer for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention while earning my masters degree in Public Health, delivered mail as a postman and, now, I drive the Bolinas school bus for my alma mater, Tamalpais High School. I get to drive past Walter Murch's house 4 times a day and imagine one day one of my stories may make it to the silver screen. (I don't daydream while driving, the safety of my students is my only concern!)

Love the world and it will love you back (sometimes painfully, but whoever said love wasn't painful, as well as full of joy?)
