My goal as a creative is simple: I want to enthrall you. Whether you’re breathlessly holding onto the edge of your seat or falling out of it laughing out loud, my intention is to keep you hooked until the credits roll. At the end of the day I believe my stories accomplish two things for the audience—they entertain and they leave an impact.
