My Story

I recently retired from Los Angeles Unified School District as a high school English/theatre teacher. During my tenure as an educator, I was named the Texas Classroom Teacher Association Representative of the Year and was a Finalist for “You’re the Best Teacher” Award. I was also twice nominated for Teacher of the Year for the Los Angeles Unified School District and was selected for Who’s Who in American High Schools. I have decided to continue where I left off 35 years ago and pursue my love of acting, writing, and producing. In 1988 I co-wrote, produced, and essayed the lead role in the Faith-Based feature film, BROKEN VICTORY, starring Golden Globe and BAFTA Award Nominee Jeannette Clift. The film won the Silver Medal at both the New York Film & Television Festival and the Houston International Film Festival. It was also a Finalist for an AFI/Billboard Dramatic Video Award and the recipient of four (4) Halo Awards from the Southern California Motion Picture Council. I have also produced several original plays and received a Los Angeles Drama-Logue Award for Outstanding Performance, for my play, “Nathan.” JEREMY, a Faith-based feature film, combines live action with animation and tells the story of a young boy who struggles with being bullied for his faith in God. The screenplay has just been named an Official Selection for Best Screenplay in both the Family & Faith Chicago Film Festival and the Florida Family Film Festival. My feature screenplay, THE LOSER’S CLUB, is currently in pre-production with Capitol H Studios and executive producer, JR Hatchett. The screenplay has been honored by over 50 Screenplay Competitions and Film Festivals from around the world.
