About me
I've been a Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep physician in St. Paul, Minnesota for 24 years now attempting to turn screenwriter. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I would work in the ICU for seventy-two hours and have a week off to recover and decided to explore my childhood desire to be a filmmaker. Screenwriting was something I could pursue while keeping my day job since I did not have the space to attend film school. I applied and was accepted to UCLA’s Professional Program in Screenwriting and completed it in 2023. We wrote two screenplays that year, the first of which was Boomerang and it took Honorable mention in their program-wide competition, made it to the second round of Austin Film Festival 2024, and was one of five runners-up in Scriptapalooza's Screenplay Fellowship in 2023. I've completed three other screenplays spanning multiple genres including drama, horror and action-drama.
