I was born and raised in Vancouver. Good normal crazy family. Soccer and smiles.
When I was 12, my friend was stabbed in a cineplex bathroom. I portrayed him in a tv reenactment to help find the monster. They never did. 
I got all educated in Montreal. Found some crazy friends looking to nudge the world playing broken and wild characters so we chased the dream.
I met a girl in a bar and we got married. 
I moved to Los Angeles when I was 25. 
Acting was cool but I wanted to sit behind the audition table. Create the thing.
I started writing.  
I got some jobs working in tv. 
Sometimes screenwriting feels like a blueprint art for a different product. 
I wanted to make the actual product, so I wrote a book in my car, and at night when my sons were sleeping. 
It's called The Damned Lovely. 
I live on the east side of Los Angeles.
I'm still with the girl.  
And I still think about that monster. 
So I keep writing...
