BELIEVE IN YOUR DREAMS
My passion is story-telling and I've been telling stories to anyone who would listen since I was a kid. It didn't matter if the story was fact or fiction, comedy or drama, action or some sappy love story, a good story is a good story and if I had an audience I would tell it like there was no tomorrow.
Over the past few years I dedicated much of my time to writing stories that were locked up in my head and just itching to get out...seven screenplays, a book, a stageplay, and a TV idea or two to be exact. It's amazing how quickly time flies while spending all day in a coffee shop pounding away on an old laptop.
This year has been a wild ride down the creative highway traveling at 100 miles per hour with absolutely no idea where the road may eventually take me. I began writing my first book "Ain't Dat Super!", a comedy about the Saints going to the Super Bowl, six months before the team did the unthinkable and actually won the big game by beating the almighty Peyton Manning and the Colts. Then I took the book and wrote a stageplay and saw it come to life at the world-class Mahalia Jackson Theatre in New Orleans in front of thousands of cheering Who Dats.
Over the years I've been fortunate to work with some very special people who have, for whatever reason, believed in my crazy dreams. Taking Rockey to the White House in FORGOTTEN ON THE BAYOU, working with former condemned man Billy Moore in EXECUTION, or making a run at the Academy Awards with THE PEOPLE'S STORY, would have been impossible if not for the support of my family, friends, and colleagues who believed in me. I am truly blessed and I can't wait to embark on our next great adventure.
