> Spec Script Specialist And Noted Recipient Of The “Highest-Paying Scripter Deal Ever”

Hollywood screenwriter/producer of feature films, DRAGONFLY, starring Kevin Costner, and LOVE HAPPENS, featuring Jennifer Aniston. Co-creator and showrunner of the FOX television series, JOHN DOE, and writer/producer of indie film and award-winning documentary features as well. 

In addition to produced credits, I’m uniquely distinguished for having written and sold dozens of high-profile spec scripts, pitches and teleplays to nearly every major Hollywood studio, including multiple seven-figure deals and at one point, the “highest-paying scripter deal ever" ~ Variety.  I’ve collaborated on projects involving the likes of Tom Cruise, Denzel Washington, Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Will Smith, Edie Falco, Chris Pine, Richard Gere, Michael Keaton, Academy Award-winning director Robert Zemeckis, and blockbuster producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

Things I can advise on:
- How best to break into a screenwriting career
- How to conceive a sellable idea
- How best to pitch your ideas
- How best to go about obtaining an agent/manager 
- How best to conceive, structure and execute a script that can sell 
- General tips for how best to navigate the business of Hollywood 

As the recipient of a great deal of luck and elite mentorship when my career started out, I feel compelled to pass along all that I have learned to others who might be interested, so that they might achieve what I’ve been so fortunate to achieve. I love to write, teach and talk about all things movies and TV, so let’s connect - I’m here to help!
