When I went to college, I found that I loved to write, but I didn't think that it was a smart choice for a profession, so I went the IT route.  Today, I'm an IT manager at a global company that pays very well.  

In 2016, I suffered a massive stroke that left me paralyzed on my right side and without the ability to speak.  Thank God I had a miraculous recovery.  My neurologists said that my brain spontaneously repaired the damage, and that I was very lucky.  My paralysis went away immediately, but the speaking part was a different story.  Today, I live with Aphasia.  

I started writing scripts after my stroke as a way to make language make sense again.  Writing dialogue was an excellent exercise!  This is when I started the Vandecomo series.  

The first drafts of my Vandecomo pilot were pretty pitiful, but last year, I submitted my pilot to film festivals/competitions, and it actually won several awards giving me the confidence to take the next step – and this is where I am.
