WRITING

I began my career as a writer, and earned a degree in Screenwriting from the School of Cinema-Television at the University of Southern California. I’ve worked for 15+ years writing dialogue for animation, video games, and commercial spots. As a Head Writer for Funimation (a Sony Pictures company), I managed teams of writers adapting 1000+ half-hour episodes of anime, with shows airing on Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, IFC, SyFy and Fox 4Kids. In 2006 I won "Writer of the Year" at the American ADR Awards, and in 2008 Shin Chan, an anime series we drastically reinvented for Adult Swim, was deemed “Best Dub” and “Best Show on TV” by Anime Insider Magazine. I was the primary English adaptation writer for Dragon Ball Super, which is currently airing on Cartoon Network, and wrote the English adaptations for the theatrically-released hits Dragon Ball Super: Revenge of F and Battle of Gods.

Other anime I’ve adapted include Fullmetal Alchemist, Yu Yu Hakusho, Darker Than Black, Samurai Seven, PsychoPass, Starblazers 2199, and many others. I’ve written dialogue for video games including Stuntman: Ignition, No More Heroes 2, and Aliens: Colonial Marines.

These days, my main writing focus is ideation and scripting for branded content for TV, digital and social media platforms. Agencies and marketing teams hire me on a freelance basis to pitch original creative concepts for their clients and projects, and then script the videos for production. I specialize in short spots, anywhere from 6 to 15 second spots for Instagram or Facebook, to 30 television spots, to 90 second to 3 minute explainers and original content for a brand’s YouTube channels, websites, and other social platforms.

My recent clients include Google, Facebook, Overstock, American Greetings, UL Fire Safety, Sage Intacct, and Wild Bill’s Soda.

If you’re looking for unique, creative content for your project or brand, I’d love to work with you. Tell me about your project and let’s start brainstorming!
