I was born in California, and grew up in Compton. I have a B.A. in photo-journalism. I've worked in television and later as a professional photographer and designer. When it was time for a career change, I earned a master's degree in Library Science. Now I work as a photo archivist at a Texas University. Currently, I'm writing my 5th screenplay and my first novel. When my turn in the world is over, I want to be remembered as, "a generous man who lived an interesting life, and left everyone with a story to tell."
