About Me

What can I say about myself other than I'm a open book and I'm in love with being creative. Writing and film making is what I believe I was put on this earth for. I also love me some basketball, especially when it comes to the Lakers, North Carolina and Lawrence North Basketball. I also love video games, mostly basketball games ( don't even think you have a shot of beating me because you don't). I'm also a big time shit talker, I talk shit about everything, all in fun though. I am extremely competitive, I love winning, so you're rolling with me best believe we're going to win!This is a spec commercial that I wrote and directed(I gotta thank Michael, Gene, Shay, O, Young Te, Dawna and everyone else who was there that day of the shoot, Cat, Olivia, Jordan and Dawna's friend. You all are loved!!..
