DIGITAL PORTFOLIO

 
I am always looking for my next story.
I’ve looked darn near everywhere.
I started in Kansas City when I was a little kid.
I’d be jumping on a trampoline, and I’d look up and pretend a whole new dimension was in the sky.
Heroes and villains and horrible creatures ticked away above my head.
When I was 12, I’d look around me, because I moved to Casablanca, Morocco, and saw stormy and plunging Fez alleyways, Sahara sands on camelback, an eel-plagued necropolis outside Rabat.
I found stories looking outside Morocco too: a rickety shack in Finland where I got to hold a rifle used by the greatest sniper to ever live, a Cold War-era hotel in Estonia with fake phones and microphones in the lamp bases, the tiny, urine-smelling room in the Great Pyramid of Khufu – a tube light and an easily bribed security guard leaning against the same wall.
When I was in high school, I’d look within me, because every self-respecting high school student thinks they’re the most important person in the world.
I had moved to Shenzhen, China, and started in the theater department at my school.
I pretended to be an evil wizard, an insecure hero, Cedric Diggory, and Chandler from Friends.
Then I came to Chicago for college, and I started making things other people could look at.

Here are some of them.
