An Unconventional Storyteller's Biography 

           Born and raised in Western Massachusetts, I grew up a dreamer. Most of my time was spent outdoors or somewhere in my imagination, building worlds, chasing ideas, and asking “what if?” long before I knew that could become a career.

           I was introduced to storytelling through theater in high school, where I also began writing what would eventually become Hero: A Villain’s Origin as part of a senior-year sci-fi project. That experience sparked something that never really turned off.

           From there, I trained at the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts, gaining hands-on experience in film and performance, working on set, and stepping into my first roles as an actor.  The deeper I got into the industry, the more I realized everything I loved about it came back to one thing: story.

             After years of developing ideas, outlining multiple books, and writing hundreds of pages across different projects, I made the decision to fully commit and finish Hero. That decision also came with a bigger shift, taking ownership of the process by self-publishing my work and building Hudson Media Collective as a creator-first studio.

             At the core of everything I do is a belief that stories connect us. They cut through differences and bring us back to something shared: the human experience. Love, fear, humor, loss, conflict, growth. The things we all feel but don’t always know how to articulate.

             I’ve always been someone who feels stories deeply. I get chills watching a powerful moment unfold on screen. I’ll laugh out loud at a perfectly timed line in a book. I connect with characters, their struggles, their victories, and sometimes even their failures.

             That’s what drives me.

             I love the experience of stories, and I create so others can step into new worlds, connect with something meaningful, and feel something real. I create for those kids dreaming and full of wonder, because in my heart, that is still me.

              At my core, across books, films, theater, and everything in between . . .

           I love storytelling.
