Summary

I'm currently working on a few outlines for some comics and films. I've  written a few unsold spec scripts for shows like 'Family Guy' and 'Foster's Home  for Imaginary Friends' as well as a number of full-length screenplays. I also  enjoy making artwork, some of which can be seen at my website and blog:
