Creative Writing

I'm a writer first.I love other mediums but that's the truth because at the root of any project, there's the story.We humans compress our world to make sense of it and find meaning, and that compression is story. If you want to avoid scrambling all the key points, keep things brief and tell the truth.I've written scripts that have been optioned and pitched to networks like History Channel and several production companies, along with short stories published in outlets like Clarkesworld Magazine.I also write copy, am a top-rated freelancer on Upwork, and unspool my thoughts for fun on Substack and Twitter (when I'm feeling masochistic).Here's a link to my short story in Clarkesworld:

I've also worked on several pitch decks for my various shows and films. Check out a couple of examples by clicking below:

Operations Management and Producing

Once you have a story and you feel good about it, you need to execute a strategy if you want to get it out into the world. It's noisy out here, and to stand out you have to use the same principles that make your story worth reading in the first place.You just have to compress them even more.That means taglines, loglines, synopses, testimonials, and blurbs.I best learned how to do this by directing operations for Story Power Marketing, a boutique marketing company. We onboard clients to our imprint of GoHighLevel and run their email, webinar, funnels, and automations for them, along with often writing and tailoring their copy for everything from promoting books for consumers to courses for B2B clients.

I've written content and copy, along with managed operations, for clients like:
-Gallaher Edge
-Confidence Wealth Management
-Instadapp
-STR Technologies
-Geisler/Patterson Law
And many more. I also manage operations and create workflows and marketing funnels for clients on the Story Power Marketing imprint of GoHighLevel, Implementum.

Filmmaking

I love movies, and I always knew I wanted to make them. I also think filmmaking is the culmination of writing and project management.I've written, produced, and directed two short films, a web series, and my first feature film, Outrage, which is now available on Amazon, Tubi, and other platforms.There's a lot to juggle at all points of the process, from pre-production all the way to marketing the finished, distributed film. I did it all on this movie.I wrote, produced, directed, edited, composed music for, color corrected, and created the majority of the vfx.I also designed the poster and, with my executive producing partner Neil Fotre, have been running the promotional and social media campaigns.Outrage is currently an 8.9/10 on IMDB and is 10/10 by critics on Rotten Tomatoes.Check it out by clicking any of the buttons below:
