As a retired fire chief who has battled fires across the western states, an award-winning screenwriter, and a faculty member at Santa Rosa Junior College, I bring a wealth of diverse life experiences to my storytelling. My unconventional background includes roles as a dolphin trainer, whale researcher, and search-and-rescue pilot, as well as the thrill of motorcycle racing across Baja, through desert terrains, and on motocross tracks. These adventures and insights fuel my passion for crafting compelling, character-driven narratives.
If it’s bold and challenging, I’ve likely experienced it—now I translate those experiences into vibrant storytelling.
