Interests
Apart from the obvious (tv, movies, plays) I'm a baseball fanatic, a political junkie and a bit of a music geek (among other things).
Goals
  1. Find work in Film/TV industry, ideally position in development office or as a story analyst
  2. Build a network of film/TV professionals, both established and aspiring, for present and future opps
  3. Keep writing! Script work first and foremost, but anything I have thoughts on is worth writing down.
