Hometown: Sonoma, CA
Bio: I was born in Sonoma, California in the "golden hour" haze of the 1970's. My friends and I had the run of the town, and riding our BMX bicycles was our salvation. The son of a conservationist and a hiker, I was raised in the Pygmy Forests of Mendocino, the creeks of Glen Ellen, the trails of Yosemite and the beaches of Bodega Bay. My father was a nature photographer and, as I tried to be nothing like him, I ended up becoming a nature photographer. I enjoy using pictures, moving or still, to tell stories and my only hope is that I can somehow turn that love into a career. I accepted Christ as my savior at age 10, at Mt. Gilead Bible Camp in Sebastopol, Ca, and have since counseled, built BMX tracks, and edited more videos than I can count. I ran the BMX program also at Camp May-Mac in the Santa Cruz mountains from 1994-1996. I attended Biola University and graduated after re-visiting in 2002-2003 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Organizational Leadership. In 2006 I wrote my first screenplay and without thinking twice (or perhaps even once) shot my first feature film, Dill, California. I have since written two more screenplays and am the moderator of the the Save The Cat! Blake Snyder Writer's Group in Los Angeles. I like old cars, starry nights, Tom Petty, and women with long legs. (but not necessarily in that order:)!
