About me

As a screenwriter, my horror short “Thunk” is currently in pre-production (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11997630/?ref_=adv_li_tt) and I’ve previously worked in feature film development with Zero Gravity Management (Ozark). I've also been a Semi-Finalist (top 2% out of 7,000 entries) in the Austin Film Festival Screenplay Competition. My short stories and poems have been published over 60 times and have earned 3 Honorable Mentions in the annual "Year's Best Fantasy and Horror" anthologies. My favorite genre to write is horror, though my interests broadly include anything dark, speculative, or off-beat. I believe my professional background as a behavior specialist helps me create realistic characters and place them in terrifying situations.

Additional Information

I've served as a volunteer leader at a no-kill animal shelter since 2004.
