About

I’m a self-taught writer/producer/director who has created three features and two novels. I aim to write and direct socially conscious genre stories and bring my love of story and the creative process to development or creative leadership roles.

I co-wrote, produced, and directed the horror feature The Control Group, starring Oscar-nominee Brad Dourif, and wrote the canine horror novel Xolo, which earned five-star reviews from Readers’ Favorite and won the Gold Medal in Horror at the CIPA EVVY Awards. I recently finished directing a micro-budget slasher in the backwoods of Wisconsin on a seven-day schedule and am seeking my next challenge in the world of film.
