I am a self-employed professional screenwriter originally from London, now based in Copenhagen where I relocated in 2019 with my Danish wife. Before moving, I worked extensively in factual development and production. For the past six years, I have worked as a full-time screenwriter. A recent credit includes writing two episodes of the BAFTA-nominated A THOUSAND BLOWS (Disney+), across two seasons, starring Golden Globe winners Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty.
