I worked in television news production and as a video journalist, where I learned video editing and camera work.

Also, I worked as a newspaper photojournalist, where I met many different people and encountered many unscripted scenarios to try and achieve photographs worthy of newsprint.

Once learning the script format, I began using the skills garnered from those professional experiences to create short movies for my enjoyment. I produced and directed a few shorts written by others as well. Of these, most were experimental, while a few shorts are on Amazon and social media.

I am now writing screenplays as spec and when I write one that fits my budget, I may produce it myself.
