Strategist in Thought. Storyteller at Heart.
I make the complex click–and the story stick.
Here I am.
The writer behind the words.
Glad to meet you.
About Me
Stanford scholar. Script shaper. Story strategist.
The S's that got me here.
My career plans took a sharp turn when I swapped law school for a whirlwind job under B-movie legend Roger Corman. Think fast screenwriting, faster rewrites, and 2 a.m. production chaos. Writing "classics" (read: never getting an Oscar nod) like Haunted Symphony was a lot more fun than studying tort law.
Since then, I’ve honed my craft across platforms—from film sets to marketing campaigns to breakthrough tech. I’ve written for filmmakers like Francis Ford Coppola, machine learning engineers building self-driving cars, and branding teams shaping how companies show up in the world.
I’ve shifted from writing screenplays to strategy decks to onboarding manuals–all in one Tuesday. And every time, it comes down to the same thing: finding the voice, cracking the message, and writing the words that land.
Whether I’m writing to market, entertain, explain, or inspire, I’m in it for the connection.
And let’s just say, the words have come a long way since Haunted Symphony.
Writing’s my game.
The story’s the strategy.
The words are the pieces.
And the right one, in the right moment?
Changes everything.
Great stories don't write themselves. Let's talk.
