DIRECTING
I have always enjoyed the art of collaboration and have a keen eye (or ear) for quality.
Which is why companies such as Bethesda, Bungie, and Ubisoft have hired me to direct actor's performances in some of their biggest titles.
In 8 years, I've worked over 30 projects, capturing an actor's best in the recording studio or out on the MoCap floor.
I encourage you to check out my reel and some of my work below!

List of Selected Works:
WRITING
As someone who has a deep love for stories, it should be no surprise that I began my career as a writer. There is something deeply powerful (and humbling) about crafting the blueprint that so many other creatives can build upon to make great work.
I am frequently hired as a story consultant and narrative producer, which has allowed me to also work extensively in the television and film industries. I also released my first novel, a technothriller titled GOD PHARM, in the fall of 2016.
NARRATIVE DESIGN
I love Narrative Design. It is the nexus of all the disciplines that I have enjoyed throughout my career.
With all of the new and exciting technologies being implemented in interactive media, storytellers need to understand how these technologies affect the experience, and adapt the experience accordingly. Well-designed games must be engaging, but for a game to be truly brilliant, it must provoke an emotional response. I always ask designers: how does your game make its players feel?
I talk frequently (and write occasionally) about Narrative Design, and will be updating this section with new material as it is released.
I also love discussion, so feel free to drop me a line.

Dungeons, Dragons, and Designing Narrative in Three Dimensions
A few weeks ago, a friend of mine introduced me to Dungeons & Dragons. In one of my first sessions, he said something that stuck with me:
“Video games have ruined D&D...”
