Hi! My name's Chris. I've lived in Los Angeles since 1995. I'm originally from the north side of Columbus, OH.

I'm a creative writer and artist and have shown my work in galleries across the United States. I'm a double film school grad and majored in screenwriting twice.

Check out my art and writing here.

My acclaimed horror novel Kings of the Earth, about a haunted Michigan surfing town, is available on Amazon here.

I like graphic novels, Christmas, tide pools, grilled cheese sandwiches, reading, dudes, biker moustaches, football (Ohio State and the New Orleans Saints), sea monsters, painting, pine trees, bookstores, tennis, going to the gym, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Raymond Carver, Laurie Metcalf, Cricket Magazine, gloves with the fingers torn off, illustration, rugby players, Trina Schart Hyman, Stephen King, horror films, canasta, film history and unexplained phenomena.
