I am a writer and filmmaker currently enrolled in the Masters of Fine Arts program for Writing for the Performing Arts at the University of California's Riverside, where I am a chancellor's distinguished fellow in screenwriting. My work has also been supported by the Max H. Gluck Foundation and has screened at festivals at home and abroad.

I love character-driven films that explore themes of sexuality, mental health, obsession, the bonds and limits of intimacy, and the varying ways human beings perceive and move through time.

Originally from Missouri, I moved around the country as a young person and developed a stubborn love for reading and watching movies. It wasn’t until after receiving my BA in Creative Writing and publishing works of fiction and poetry that I decided to make the leap and commit to filmmaking.

I believe in the power of motion pictures to move audiences in ways that help to uncover truths about themselves and the world around them. For me, movies are best when they take risks.

I am currently in post-production for my debut feature film, Rhapsody.

I am also in post-production with a narrative short, “Green Space,” and am developing my next feature project.

When not working, I love to travel, read, drink coffee, and watch movies with my wife.
