Born and raised in Portland, Oregon. Travelled extensively and lived in Greece and Spain. Studied English and Spanish at the University of Oregon before getting my MFA in film at USC. I currently work as a screenwriter and have been hired to write films by independent production companies in New York and Los Angeles. My short film WIDE AWAKE IN NOTHING continues to play the festival circuit and can be seen from time to time on IFC as well as here on JAMAN, so look it up and watch!
