My creative journey began in Los Angeles, where I studied film with aspirations of becoming a director. While my path eventually evolved from behind the camera to the pages of a book, that early training never left me. Today, my fiction is heavily shaped by cinematic storytelling and a lifelong fascination with art in all its forms—from the rhythm of a great soundtrack to the visual structure of design.
Writing, however, has always been the baseline. When I was a child, a short story I penned was selected for a Young Authors Association competition, an early validation that sparked a realization that storytelling could be a true calling. That passion has only deepened over the years, transforming into a love for crafting narratives that explore wonder, nostalgia, and the profound human connections that shape who we become.
While a full-time career in tech keeps my days packed, I am always carving out quiet corners of time to write. Currently, I am developing an expansive multi-book science fiction series featuring a young ensemble cast, alongside a contemporary Middle Grade novel.
When I’m not at my desk, you can usually find me reading, jamming on the saxophone, or in the garage restoring my ’58 Ford Fairlane—a hands-on reminder that some things are entirely worth preserving. I live in Northern California with my wife and two children, finding endless inspiration in the beautiful, chaotic, and tender moments of fatherhood.
