Grew up barefoot in the Amazon basin. Paid for college by hand-planting half a million trees in northern Canada. Then married-procreated-divorced-remarried, which provided enough agony & ecstasy to kick-start an obsession with screenwriting. Produced some stuff because I had to. Nicholl-finalisted in 2016 (and won some other contests), but still grasping after the full-time-artist golden apple.
