I studied biochemistry in college, thinking I wanted to go to medical school. But my favorite classes were my extracurricular ones: fiction writing, acting. Fast forward many, many years. I met my lady in Chicago, but she’s from a little area called Almería in Spain. We moved there and I discovered it’s the place where they filmed the spaghetti westerns –– along with other movies like Patton, Lawrence of Arabia, and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. And there was a film school. So I went. And I fell in love with screenwriting.
