ABOUT ME
Born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, I came out to california to study screenwriting and history at Chapman University. A week after graduating i was working on Terence Malick's knight of cups while sleeping in my car. Best time of my life.
In the intervening years, I've worked as a writers' assistant while writing and producing music videos. In 2019 my pilot Script Juggernaut was named a Sundance semi-finalist. In 2023 I co-wrote the short film The Flute directed by frequent collaborator Nick Roney which ultimately won the midnight shorts grand jury prize at sxsw Film festival.
Currently, I'm a freelance commercial treatment writer, having worked on such brands as McDonalds, KFC, Netflix, Cheerios, High Noon, target among others. I'm always writing, working on new feature and short ideas. for professional inquiries:
