Backstory
Compassion Offspring
Compassion Offspring
Born in 1989 to the best parents. Who came from two completely different worlds. My dad comes from a family of high end restaurateurs from Europe and grew up in Newport Beach. My mom was raised by her aunts in Topeka Kansas. My dad had a horse and would go to summer camp in Vienna. My mom had a bike and would spend summers being the only child on a farm. However after spending one minute with them you'll realize what brought them together was their unwavering love of people.
The Storyteller
The Storyteller
I feel in love with storytelling in 4th grade. When one night my mom ended a bedtime story abruptly. Disappointed in the swift end I sat up in the bed and said "No, it should go like this" and I told her a simplified version of a hero's journey with foreshadowing, a climax, and conclusion. That imagination has stayed with me since and helps solve digital marking problems through telling stories.

School was at first very difficult for me and I spent much of my time perfecting my drawing ability. Then once I was diagnosed it all made since and I had a new found energy. Knowing my brain had to work five times harder than my classmates made every B I got feel like an A. As an adult I realized this nonlinear way of thinking has giving me a advantage at problem solving. I'm able to dissect a problem and look at all the variables individually and arrange them to form a conclusion that makes the most sense. Similar to what I do every time I read.
Understanding Demographics
Understanding Demographics
My dad invested his inheritance taking the family around the world and when we ran out of that. We just started taking in multiple foreign exchange students at a time. The conversations at family dinners has given me a deep understanding of all sorts of demographics. How one culture might think something is extremely odd and anther find it completely rational
Discovering a Dormant Passion
Discovering a Dormant Passion
I grew up with the best family in the world but that does not mean we didn't have drama. When it happens I escaped into the movies and sometimes they even helped me come to terms with whatever situation I was in. So naturally, I came to LA to be a screenwriter to help people overcome their problems. Out here I found very little difference between how movies are made and products and services are sold.
