I'm a Houston-based screenwriter and filmmaker with a track record of developing and executing low-to-mid-budget projects from concept through production. I write, produce, and collaborate across departments to shape ambitious genre stories with strong commercial appeal. My selected credits include Fear Itself (2023), an atmospheric thriller produced on a lean budget, and Out the Game (2025), a crime drama currently in the release cycle, where I delivered the screenplay and contributed to production execution. With a background as an award-winning actor and a former sommelier, I bring a unique voice and life perspective to character work and storytelling. I thrive on contained, high-concept premises and dialogue-driven scenes, and I value teamwork, performance, and efficiency on set.
