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.
