I’m an optioned writer based in Los Angeles prolific in all genres of film and television. My first production deal for a comedy series I wrote and created came just 6 months after moving to California from Charlotte NC in 2020. Since then I’ve signed on to develop two projects (one film / one tv) and I have another feature film pending for first quarter 2022. My work has received favorable coverage from industry notables Jon Hersh, Charlie Osowik, Carli Haney, SK Dayne, Stevenson Greene and Diane Bell!
I also have many years of experience in sales, management, training, customer service, product and package delivery.
