Writer Statement

“I try to bring my varied life experiences to my writing. I pull different facets from my time in the military, policing, acting, manual labor jobs, and corporate jobs into each character and the story. I write each character with specific characteristics, personality, and dialect. I also do extensive research to bring the most accurate depictions to my work as possible.

The Silk Road Film Awards Cannes was a great experience and I would highly recommend it. I feel honored to have been among the many outstanding screenwriters who submitted. I was very excited to find out that Strife won the Best Feature Drama Screenplay category.”
