"He who tells the stories rules the world." Hopi proverb

I'm a journalist by TRAINING (B.S.J. in PR/news editorial), a senior writer/business communications consultant by VOCATION, and a screenwriter by PASSION. I write dramas and comedies - ordinary people accomplishing extraordinary achievements on anything-but-ordinary journeys. My goal is to make you dig deep, laugh hard, think harder, and live better, fuller, more purposeful lives. Cinema is the greatest art for reaching the soul and changing the heart.

By day I help companies find their voices and tell their stories, strategizing and working with with C-suite execs to plan, execute, and realize their corporate visions. I'm a writer, editor, coach, listener, adviser, planner, researcher, thinker, collaborator, and innovator. I work well with a team and I make sure the job gets done right.

That's what I do for a living. Screenwriting is what keeps me alive.

I've completed two scripts:
GRAY MATTERS: a rest home comedy about growing up, growing old, and finding your groove.
A WOMAN OF LETTERS: a Depression-era drama about becoming the hero of your own life story.

And am working on two more:
A MAN FOR OTHERS: a WW2 biopic/drama about the face of true faith.
SNEAKING PAST CASTRO: a contemporary escapist comedy about finding your true home.

My hope is to meet some fantastic writers and collaborators to complement my work and also help others along the way to fulfill their literary hopes and dreams,
