I was born in San Clemente, CA. I’ve moved around A LOT: from a bunch of places in California, to Connecticut, to Romania. I even lived in Japan for a month (Okay, that was technically a vacation.). I tried college for nine years and eleven majors, but eventually decided it wasn’t for me. I’ve worked as a janitor, a welder, a telemarketer (I know this is hard to believe, but it was worse on the other end of the phone line!), at a car wash, a flower shipping plant, in warehouses, and at newspapers. When I’m not writing, I make movies.
