He spent the remainder of his formative years at the legendary Doghouse in Queens, New York, training alongside current TNA and WWE superstars Homicide and Kaval as well as studying martial arts and pursuing his first love of fiction.

He was first published at 24, saw the release of his first short story collection at 25, and signed on to pen his first screenplay at 26. He's since written for film and television, as well as penning Web 2.0 content ranging from internet series and comics to podcasts. He now resides in Los Angeles and bleeds exclusively on the blank page.
