About Me

In addition to being an award-winning screenwriter, I'm a published author of fiction and a published ghostwriter of non-fiction. As a former print and broadcast journalist, I possess excellent research and fact-checking skills, and can effectively navigate online court records, FOIA requests, etc. My beats as a journalist included politics/elections, as well as investigative work.

Areas of personal interest include baseball, hockey, men's grooming (especially beards), horror, true crime, filmmaking, and viking culture.
