Writer. Director. Creator.
Adam discovered a love of film while completing his BA in Psychology at Ohio University. After cutting his teeth making short films, he moved to Orange County, CA to pursue a screenwriting career. He has since had his work optioned and produced and has completed assignments for features, short films and series pilots. Though he focuses on the thriller and action genres, he's no stranger to drama, comedy, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and more. His work has been recognized by multiple competitions, and he continues to create new stories of his own while collaborating with his fellow filmmakers to bring their visions to life.
I love too many different types of stories to be tied to a single genre or medium. I only want to be associated with good stories that are well told.
