03 personal history
I grew up in Texas, was given my first real gun at age six.
After leaving the state, I wrote the novel TALL TALES FROM DRY PLACES about Texas.
​
I have been in bands making music professionally for years, even briefly signing to a major label, but not until my current projects have I really realized my potential.
​
I went to UCLA, graduating before most of you were born. I lived in Brooklyn for years near the canal where the Gattis put their bodies.
​
There I wrote the stage play SENSATION, which was produced at KGB, and ATLAS OF THE HIDDEN WORLD.
​
After Brooklyn, I moved back to LA, and co-wrote the stage musical 1929 with Kahlil Daniel, which is going to NYC in 2024. With Kahlil I also wrote the feature film script FIGHT FOR THE WORLD about Black boxer Joe Louis' bouts with Hitler's champion fighter.
​
I also co-wrote SCORPIO SZN, which is in pre-production for principal photography in 2025.
