ABOUT ME
Growing up in Chicago, my parents were avid readers who passed on to me a love of the written word, my earliest influences being Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Mad Magazine.
Inspired to become a writer, the notion of writing books was far too daunting, so I set my sights on screenwriting. My quest began with a college year-abroad in Japan where I served an internship with film director and writer, Masahiro Shinoda. While in Japan, I became immersed in Japanese Cinema, screening at least five films per week, an experience that profoundly impacted my thinking about storytelling.
