Movies have been my thing since I was a kid. The first ones I remember? Davy Crockett  — I had the coonskin cap and all accessories. And, Old Yeller? Yeah, we all cried.

That early spark never went away. It followed me through decades in film and TV and eventually led me here — to writing screenplays. I call it “word painting” — taking a vision and shaping it into something you can ride through like a dream. A great screenplay pulls you in so deep you forget you’re watching. That’s the magic I’m after.
