For The Love of Storytelling.

I am passionate about creative writing in all forms. Old boxes filled with dust-covered screenplays, collections of poetry, and short stories fill my family’s storage. When I was 11-years old, I wrote and directed a 15-minute play called Mansion of Problems. At the time, we lived near a U.S. military base in South Korea where my father was stationed. Jim, a retired officer, managed the Arts & Recreation center on base. He was a kind man, so kind that he took my poorly organized production seriously. He painted beautiful backdrops for my set. He cheered the loudest as a cast of my friends fumbled through their performance in front of a small crowd in an outdoor pavilion.

Over the years I continued to write. Most of my notable writing was done in official capacities- for school, as a Linguist in the Army, as an Executive Recruiter, and for the last 10+ years as the Communications Lead for my own company. Between work, however, I continued to write freely- creating stories from both the imagination and colorful experiences with people.
