I create new myths
for film, television,
video games,
and more.

I specialize in the construction of living, breathing secondary worlds and the balance between timeless mythic narrative and focused relational drama. I hold an MFA in screenwriting from Chapman University, where I studied under Oscar-winner David Ward.

My original TV pilot OTHERWORLD was selected for the 2018 New York Stage and Film filmmakers’ workshop and residency, where I was mentored by Zach Helm, writer of STRANGER THAN FICTION. My screenplay VITRUVIAN was a finalist (top five) in the 2016 Austin Film Festival Screenwriting Competition sci-fi/fantasy category. My screenplay STARSFALL was a semifinalist (top ten) in the same category that year, as well as a semifinalist (top 2%) in the 2011 Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting.

I am currently teaching screenwriting at George Fox University and writing an upcoming interactive fiction game for Soma Games.

I also perform traditional Irish and Scottish folk music and am a member of the Oregon Maple Syrup Products Association, as well as a ruling elder in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.
