I’ve always seen the world a little differently — and that difference has become my greatest strength.
I come from a world of contrast: a sociology degree, a visual eye shaped by texture and atmosphere, and a playing career that took me across nearly every position on the football field — from running back to linebacker to defensive end. I played college ball at Colgate, but the game was just one of many fields I explored. I’ve written plays, directed scenes, taken photographs, and followed whatever sparked a sense of vision. I don’t chase labels — I build across them.
My creativity lives at the intersection of art, sport, culture, and instinct. I write stories that stretch from the streets to the stage. I capture feeling over form. I chase moments that linger. My musical taste is wide open — from French ballads to Brazilian grooves, classical compositions to 1920s big band swing, all the way to the hard-hitting grit of Southern rap. I hear rhythm everywhere — and I see the world through that lens.
I believe in character. In listening. In creating things that carry meaning.
I’m an aspiring writer, director, and producer — driven by the ambition to build meaningful, original work across genres and mediums. I’m currently developing Black Jack, an original TV series set in the 1980s South, blending sports, identity, and raw human drama. It’s one of many projects I plan to bring to life — stories that speak, provoke, and resonate.
