I grew up in London’s East End, where the world I write about wasn’t fictional-it was part of everyday life. That early exposure shaped my perspective and continues to inform my work, grounding it in character, tension, and authenticity.

I found my way out through music, playing drums in bands and touring across the UK, Europe, and the United States. That path led to roles as a tour manager and bodyguard, giving me a front-row view into very different worlds and personalities-experience that continues to influence my writing.

While living in New York, I wrote my first screenplay, which led to a development deal with Martin Scorsese, under the guidance of Barbara De Fina. That opportunity marked a turning point and launched my career as a writer.

Since then, I’ve secured development deals with Aaron Russo (RIP) and others, and have written for over 30 producers, celebrities, and production companies. My work is distributed worldwide and has received multiple awards.

I’m drawn to character-driven stories that explore human behavior under pressure-grounded, authentic, and emotionally truthful.
