SCREENWRITER

As a sensitive little potageeman, I would stay up late listening to the rhythms of my family's dialogues through the walls as they laughed at adult secrets, coped with reality, and shared in hope that transcended our existential hardships. I blend my passion for storytelling with my family's survivalist immigrant work ethic in an attempt to pay forward their many great sacrifices.


For as long as I can remember, I have been obsessively drawing maps of humanity by writing poems and saying too much, too quickly, in overly confessional forms to those who would listen. I was a kaleidoscopically joyful nerdy child editing videos on torrented software and a terrible student as an undiagnosed autistic with ADHD raised in the 90s and 2000s, labelled every shade of mischievous, flamboyant and idiotic by allistics coping with their own versions of our same suffering human condition.


As a first-wave internet user, I would skip school to play in text-based roleplaying forums with other neurodivergent kids through my grandfather's Windows 98 PC, and started taking narrative classes in night school. I graduated with honours from Sheridan College's Film and Television program, studying television writing, directing, and editing. I was lucky to have a pragmatic education there involving hundreds of hours on set as a key creative making dozens of projects with talented collaborators, setting the stage for my work today as a storytelling entertainer.


My polymathic interests myelinate the skill circuits for all of the work I do. I have played music since I was a kid and I did both stand-up and improv comedy for a few years. I have been fortunate to find some public recognition for my prolific screenwriting portfolio. My teleplays and screenplays have placed highly for many awards including those above. From 2020 to 2022, I partnered with literary manager Carmen Knox of CK Artists to expose my work to Hollywood and New York, opening the door to a series of collaborative discussions with top U.S. studios and networks. I am a lifelong learner who loves to work with expressive future-oriented artists steeped in authenticity. I study timeless works in psychology, philosophy, spirituality, mythology, narrative theory, music theory, art history and data storytelling to learn more about us.


My unique relationship with character-driven tragicomedy stems from my early encounters with mortality. My material reflects the emotionally grounded but absurd experiences that we navigate as modern cyborg-human-animals lost in our thoughts while searching for meaning.
