Patrons eye you with curiosity, but one catches your attention over the others - a young, handsome (exceedingly humble) looking man in his early twenties, with long curly brown hair, an untrimmed beard, and youthful eyes that reflect a thousand stories like a thousand stars in the night sky.

A nerd. Growing up reading books like The Lord of the Rings, The Red Badge of Courage, Harry Potter, and Eragon, I developed an overactive imagination that heavily influenced my perspective on life.

But these career paths became unrealistic and unappealing as I grew older, until finally I realized that I was fascinated by the stories around these vocations. This discovery led me down a path of storytelling in screenwriting and acting.

Through stories of intrigue, good vs. evil, adventure, fantasy, and history, I hope to offer perspective on the vast scope of our universe, always with the motto “All things with humor.”
