About me

I am a television pilot writer, with 3 completed pilots. My pilots tackle big social issues and turn them into action-adventure stories. My current day job is CEO/Publisher of an online magazine that talks about changing gender roles in the 21st century. I am also available to design pitch decks for screenplays and pilots.

I love meeting new people, so please introduce yourself (If I don't say hi first!).
