Professional Writer and Storyteller

Experienced writer and storyteller with equal amounts of creative and technical aptitude. In addition to my professional (aka “day job”) writing accomplishments and previous adventures as a freelance writer/traveler throughout Europe, Asia, and Australia/New Zealand, I’ve also developed a diverse body of screenwriting work, including scripts that have earned the following distinction:

• Finalist — Nicholl Fellowships (Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences)
• Winner — Austin Film Festival (Dark Hero Studios Sci-fi Award)
• Winner — PAGE International Screenwriting Awards (Silver Prize)
• Winner — ScreamFest LA Film Festival
• Winner — International Family Film Festival
• Winner — Shriekfest Horror/Sci-fi Film Festival
• Winner — Seattle Int’l Film Festival (SIFF) (produced short script “Safe Passage”)
• Honorable Mention — Trackingb Screenplay Contest
• Semi-finalist — Walt Disney Studios/ABC Writers Fellowship

Despite my previous vagabond tendencies, I now reside in my adopted home of Seattle, WA where I work as a Senior Writer in the Seattle offices of The Walt Disney Company.
