Bio
I remember out of high school I wanted to make films. I knew no one who knew how, and so, for a host of other reasons, I joined the U.S. Marines. I found a scriptwriting book, and during nights in service wrote a few scripts. After the military I wrote essays and eventually a book called After Thought, a dystopian thriller set after America's second Civil War, where the United States adopts new technology to ensure lasting peace, but a woman named Ada begins uncovering dark truths about her family’s past and the cost of this peace. Then came my little break—someone finally paid me to write a feature, which now, I imagine, sits dusted on a shelf in a development office in New York.
Although that commission didn't lead to anything material, it re-instilled in me my first dream of making films. Now I was older, more stubborn, and had perspective on things I hadn't appreciated before. So I scrapped together some money and talent and made my first short, Diagnosed.
Diagnosed follows a couple facing the man’s sudden loss of sex drive—and the extremes he’ll go to fix it. I made this film because I noticed that over the last few years every platform with a male audience became inundated with ads about erectile dysfunction. Why were we being sold that suddenly men in their 20s and 30s were hormonally deficient? What was society trying to say about masculinity? That’s what I sought to answer.
Since making Diagnosed, I was accepted into NYU’s Interactive Media Arts program. Here I’m studying the frontiers of storytelling: in VR, virtual production, web interfaces, physical computing, and even gaming. My next project, an interactive film, is under development in this program and will showcase in Shanghai in the summer of 2026.
I can’t wait to show you what’s next.
I’m currently open to collaborations or commissions, if you’re interested in working together please reach me via dm or email.
