      Writing is the passion of my life. I express every life lesson, mine as well as others, in intricately written pieces. Our culture is worthy of praise and honor and through writing we can bring its richness to life.

      Hi! Writing (especially screenwriting at present) is something that has been a part of my life since I was a child. I am looking forward to meeting others who have the same passion that I have about sharing our wonderful culture with the world.

      I'm a filmmaker/writer/director that has won an award for best director for my first feature film SPLITTING HAIRS 2.0: CASE COLD. I'm in the process of finding someone to proof read my 301 page novel so that I can explore what venue to publish it in
