I grew up in Queens, New York. When I was seven years-old, I discovered my first creative outlet: writing. Since many of my stories were influenced by movie imagery, it was inevitable I would go to film school.

Some of my favorite fiction and poetry authors are Gabriel Garcia Marquez, H.P. Lovecraft, Arthur Rimbaud, Michael McClure, and Charles Bukowski.

I have also penned a feature script - a dark comedy titled Proxy.
