I am a writer-producer with decades of experience across television, film, and new media. My career spans CBS, FOX, NBC, HBO, Universal, and independent projects, where I have written, directed, and produced across genres from action-adventure to drama and comedy. I am passionate about turning high-concept ideas into market-ready content and building teams that can shepherd projects from script to screen. Beyond writing and producing, I teach screenwriting and film finance at institutions including Boston University in Los Angeles, UCLA Extension, Stage 32, and the Lifton Institute, sharing pragmatic approaches to move scripts from concept to production. I also lead and advise production-finance ventures like Gravitas Gold and related initiatives, helping creators finance and realize their projects.
