These are some more words about me:

People usually ask what part of England I'm from. I reply, "Australia". Because that's where I'm from. I was born in Sydney and grew up in Brisbane. I moved to the United States when I was 12 with my family, proving to be the catalyst of my struggle with identity and where my writing would originate from years later. When I was 21 I moved north to Portland, Oregon, where I’ve been for the past decade making my living in the advertising industry as a writer/director. I got started as a director by buying a camera and making my own films. My stories focus on people, their relationships, and the comedy and tragedy found pursuing them.

Aside from making films and writing stuff down, I play drums, eat chips and salsa whenever possible, enjoy scotch a little too much, suffer intense mood swings because of Manchester United, and try my best to enjoy life with my lovely wife, Michele and golden retriever, Hank. We spend our days learning how to have fun and make the most of life.

Lastly, there are a few things I treasure more than people truly being themselves: vulnerable, exposed, revealing insecurities, and finding the humor and joy in being just that. That is a human, truly living life. That is the story I hope to tell well. More so, one I hope to live.
