My love for writing began in a creative writing course at college. That is the genesis to my story "To be the Best". Film and television are something I enjoy as well. I find these mediums of entertainment a way to view a story or subject from different perspectives. Gaining insights from different points of view is a great way to study human nature. It has always brought me satisfaction and a better level of understanding to immerse myself into a story or character through a book, film, or television. I have also always played sports and played football through college. This level of competition was very enlightening. Of all my interests the "best" is spending time with family and friends!
