About Me
I work full time at an engineering firm during the day and by night I enjoy spending time with my beautiful four year old, boy/girl twins. Also I try to be the best husband that I can be, even though my wife may disagree. After everyone else goes to bed, I retreat to my "hole in the wall" and write. It is my passion, it is where I go to escape. Ideas are not the challenge, they come everyday, the challenge is finding the time and not letting my left side destroy my right. I love it, I'll do it until they put me away.
Goal
My goal is to see my ideas first be put down on paper and then possibly with god, and a lot of luck, the big screen. I would love to have a spec script sell, and then ultimately produced. I would also be happy with getting a novel published. Of course my biggest goal is to just leave some published work behind, so that when I am long gone, my kids and they're kids can say that, "the old man wasn't so crazy after all".
Professional Experience
Screenwriter
September 2005 - Present
To be totally accurate, it all started back when I was a kid swinging underneath a huge live oak tree in our front yard. I would swing for hours, letting my imagination soar. I put it on the back burner during college, being the son of a structural engineer, you had two choices to choose from in college, you major in something technical or you major in something technical, man the choices. Once I graduated, let the imagineering begin!! I will never stop.
