I have written over 10 screenplays, "rom-coms", "creature-features with humor", straight ahead comedies, a fantasy comedy and one drama. I am able for re-writes. I live in Richmond, Ca. I have come in as a Quarter and Semi finalist in contests such as Screen Craft, American Gem, Story Pros and Scriptapalooza. In the last one mentioned, I came in fourth in a TV Spec contest, writing an episode of 30 ROCK. I have written and submitted to Scriptapalooza an episode of "UNBREAKABLE KIMMY SCHMIDT" and have placed as a finalist in the Stage 32/Happy Writers Spec TV contest. All these competitions were between 2012 and 2015. I work best alone, without a partner and am a very fast learner when someone needs something fast. I wrote stand-up material for greats such as Joan Rivers, Rodney Dangerfield and Jay Leno. I have all my own hair.

Waking up early Saturday mornings to colorful cartoons and a big bowl of artificially colored sugar cereal is what inspired me to create art and pushed me to become an illustrator. Now I’m older and reluctantly became an adult but i will not lose what made me happy as a child. My art helps me hold on to this feeling and create a sugary sweet artificially colored coating on my adult life. As an illustrator I provide a friendly and reliable service working in both traditional and digital media, producing adorable, child friendly images which adults can enjoy too!
