Make your work both credible and riveting.
I utilize my 30 years of security experience and global travel to help you produce authentic and compelling scenes, sets, dialogue and characters.
The great success of authors and directors like Brad Thor, Tom Clancy, Kathleen Bigelow and Quentin Tarantino, to name a few, is rooted in their ability to combine authentic absurd realities with suspense, rawness, and great story telling.
Whether you’re writing a new movie script or completing your book, the difference between a compelling story and one that falls flat is the ring of authenticity.
I recognize my life in movies like Zero Dark Thirty. Even the bar scenes from Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy are unnervingly familiar to my real life experiences. The crazy party scenes and outrageous situations portrayed in in the midst of a war zone in Whiskey Tango Foxtrot were the real deal. There is nothing like a high threat situation or war zone to bond people together!
