I was born in Washington, D.C. but did most of my growing up in South Jersey, about 20 miles or so east of Philly. I also lived down North Carolina way in the late eighties, my middle school years. For college I attended Temple University in Philadelphia where I majored in film and minored in German. Then I came out here to Los Angeles to get my masters in creative writing from USC. My passion remains writing, specifically novels and screenplays, which I work on in my spare time while holding down a day job.
