Director, Producer, Screenwriter

I wrote my first full length feature screenplay at the age of 18 and acquired my first agent by the age of 19.

I have ten screenplays and two television pilots to my credit, one of which was based on my series of children's books.

I received a Focus Award nomination for my feature screenplay, "Peripheral Vision" and an Achievement Award for my short film, "The Long Way Home" which I also produced and directed. "The Long Way Home", after a few theatrical screenings, also found a home on cable television for 5 weeks, unusual for a short film.

Founded an independent production company called Barleau Street Films and directed several short films as well as a music video. Currently developing two children's television programs, "The Imagine Island" and "The Tortoise and the Girl,” as well as the feature length scripts, “Closure” and “Mirror Dancing.”

My current release, "Peripheral Vision," which I wrote, produced & directed is enjoying success on the Festival circuit, having already won an Audience Choice Award at the Long Island Film Festival.

Lastly, I find writing Bio's about myself very uncomfortable.

Cheers!
