I've had an extremely fun (and stressful) life. I worked for years in the crab fishing industry on the Bering Sea, including being on boats that nearly sank, did catch fire, and many other escapades.

I followed that by working in tense and challenging situations, frequently alone, all over the world. I was in Guatemala during the civil war there and then Honduras, Egypt during Arab Spring, The Philippines during a Typhoon, and have had many adventures on every other continent, too (except Antarctica, although I'm hoping to land a project on that continent this year.)

I have a pretty unusual photo album.

In terms of screenwriting, in 2022 I signed a shopping agreement and was hired for a re-write. I've been paid for another option and had a book published. Since May of 2021 my scripts have won 3 "Best Screenplay" awards, a "9.08 out of 10" rating from The Script Lab, "Top 10" at Cinequest, and "Top 50" from ScreenCraft .

I'm the father of two, adopter of two (dogs,) and still married after all these years. And I'm amazed by all of it and take absolutely none of it for granted.
