Summary

An experienced writer more than half a dozen games and twenty-five best-sellers within my portfolio. I always dedicate myself to every project I am on and make sure that I apply all of the skills and strategies I have learned to deliver the best product possible.


No matter what the medium of story telling is, all content created will be of the highest caliber I can provide. Whether a team project or solo, my number one goal is creating stories that matter to people.
