About Me



Layout by CoolChaserI am an aspiring writer formally living in Los Angeles, back in Arizona. My passion are writing and watching science fiction television shows and getting tattoos. I have been working on a script for a science fiction series and it is my hope that it will be picked up and produced… I believe that it is a fresh idea (though what I have learned when pitching an idea is: never say it is a fresh new idea :) ). It is also my hope that I can meet other writers to bounce ideas off of…a sounding board of sorts. It has been especially difficult for me since I have no formal training on writing scripts. I have taught myself by buying books and software…and through trial and error. I love making new friends on Myspace… No matter who the person is, they have such an amazing story to tell.I served in the military (Army) for seven years. The best parts of my service were the people that I met and the countries that I was able to visit. I have traveled to almost every state in the Union. I have found that California has been my favorite. I have lived in Wisconsin, Tennessee, Arizona and now California.If you are visiting my page for the first time, please feel free to send an “Add request”. As previously stated, I love meeting new people.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Billy Bob Thornton would be on top of my list of people that I would like to meet. It is because of his movie “Sling blade” that I began to learn how to write and format screenplays… And then Ellen Muth (met her at a convention) Then of course, Angelina Jolene…I have met most of the cast of Battlestar Galactica… but I still would love to meet Edward James Olmos (Adama) and Mary McDonell (Laura Roslin)… Next on my list would be Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy)…

Freewill, a dangerous gift?

Freewill, it is a potentially dangerous gift from God. I guess it depends on how men/women use this gift. Someone once asked me, If God is so loving and merciful why would he let the evil things that...
