I was born in small town SC and graduated from the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Media Arts. While in school, I interned at Rocket Science Labs in Hollywood on Temptation Island, Perfect Match, and other reality television projects.  As a co-founding member of independent comic book studio 803 Studios, my early 2000s publishing credits include Image Comics and Arcana Comics. With more than 10 books under my belt, I gave standing-room-only self-publishing tutorials at conventions around the United States.  My novel Handlebars and my children's book Sammy the Squirrel(tle) are available on Amazon and for order with bookstores everywhere. My screenwriting projects Stink Fist and Punk Girls in Space have been recognized at the Boston Screenplay Award, Film Quest screenwriting competition, and the Los Angeles International Screenplay Awards.
