    Location:
    Central Coast, CA
    Relationship Status Married
    Children: Proud Parent
    Occupation: Freelance Writer
    Interested In: Fiction, Screenwriting
    About Me: I teach, read, write, play.
    What I Write: I tend to write slice of life pieces. In screenplays and fiction, I am compelled to reveal the human condition. I think most people are searching for something; most don't know what or why and that's where I begin. I build broken characters and watch them struggle. I watch, and write and try to stay out of the way. Seems to me, God must be a writer.
    Credits & Accomplishments: Greatest Accomplishment: I write -- everyday.
    Hobbies Writing. Thinking about writing. Movies. Reading. Writing song lyrics.
    Music: Anything that touches me. I have a real soft spot for indie musicians and their music. Most of the musicians I listen to struggle for their art, sacrifice everything for the music they love. Look up Amber Rubarth, Joey Ryan, Jay Nash, Joel Ackerson. Go to a "house concert." It will change your life.
    Favorite Movies: Inherit the Wind. The Station Agent... many more
    Favorite Books & Authors: Kurt Vonnegut... more
    Heroes: If you have a hero, look again; you have diminished yourself in some way.

    Credentials: Cal Poly SLO
    MA: Grand Canyon University
