Summary

Hi! I am a recent graduate from the University of Hartford with a degree in cinema. My goal in life is to eventually become a screenwriter and/or director. I am sure everyone says that, but I am eager to start at the bottom and work my way up. Before College I spent ten years in the US Air Force, which taught me how to both follow and lead. I am mission driven but I also don't take myself too seriously. I just want to turn people's story idea's into a reality while learning all I can.
