writing
Before knowing exactly what screenwriting was, I spent a good portion of my childhood sitting at the family computer writing “stories to be turned into movies”. In my mind, I had invented screenwriting.
I went on to study a concentration in screenwriting at the Newhouse School at Syracuse University. While peers studied to become investigative journalists or prepare for a career as a battlefield correspondent, I was academically groomed for a profession in riffing. Money well spent.
I continue to write for screens of all sizes; silver, LED, hell, I’ll go vertical for the right price. Influenced by the tones of Albert Brooks and Christopher Guest, I am interested most in characters that treat absurdity with complete sincerity.
Listed are summaries of my two most recent spec scripts, full drafts are available upon request.
If you want proof that I can write TV, read The Texan, a goofy Seinfeld spec set I wrote last week about the modern Texas comedy scene.
