About Me
I’ve been writing since about age 2 when I dictated stories to my mother and drew the art for them. About mid-way through college I realized my artwork hadn’t improved much; I decided to stick to the content portion of the program and let visual professionals work their magic. Maybe I should switch my title to "Media Perfectionist." |

There have been a few media genres that have helped shape my passion for storytelling: movies and comics. (Imagine my delight when movies from comics started being the big thing at the box office!) |

Screen Test may have been created before the Internet, but once "online" became a place to go, I found new places to express myself. Following my geek roots, I created the world's first Star Wars Electronic Magazine, Echo Station, that became a popular place for fans to read interviews with actual professional Star Wars writers and artists. We conducted one of the first, exclusive interviews with poster artist Drew Struzen (if you know who he is, he's a big deal. If you don't know the name, look up posters for Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Back to the Future, to mention a few).
We were also home to some pretty spectacular amateur writers and artists. Not to drop names (except I totally am), one of our art contributors was Pablo Hidalgo, who is now one of THE people in charge of the Star Wars storyline at Lucasfilm. |
I also continued to indulge my secret desire to write audio and video scripts, comics, and even computer game stories. I’ll share some of those with you. Just a peek, though. Now, about that screenplay I was writing… |
