Author Details

During my career at ScreenRant, I have had multiple articles go on to find massive success. I have also been asked to come on various podcasts and radio shows due to my expertise in film and the film industry. Outside of journalism, I have directed and worked on several short films, something I hope to continue in the future.

Industry Focus

I cover a wide variety of topics, with my expertise spanning from box office blockbusters to awards season hits. Rocky/Creed, The Evil Dead, Jurassic Park, and The Matrix are just a few of the topics I cover most. I also cover streaming TV, writing about shows on HBO Max, Disney+, Netflix, Hulu, and more.

Favorite Media

My favorite movie is Back to the Future, although I love anything from the 1980s. Some of my favorite directors are David Fincher, Paul Thomas Anderson, and the Coen Brothers, and my favorite actor is Philip Seymour Hoffman. My favorite ongoing franchises include Rocky, The Evil Dead, Breaking Bad, Futurama and The Boys.
