Watching The Twilight Zone was the first time I recognized the power of science fiction to tell suspenseful, visually compelling stories while examining human nature - with a twist!  Like Rod Serling, Richard Matheson, and Arthur C. Clarke, I wanted tell weird and wonderful stories that might one day be seen on film and television. 

I set off to Hollywood to pursue my passion, and found myself working in an unlikely place:  behind-the-scenes documentary.  So, if you've ever watched a Harry Potter or Hobbit DVD, and nerded out to the making-of documentaries, you might have seen some of my work!

Lately, I have returned to my first love - science fiction - and while I hope to pursue traditional publishing, I currently write to entertain, thrill, and challenge others to see the world from a new perspective. 

I've been so encouraged by the incredible response to my first Wattpad novel, PRISONER SIX.
