His work explores myth, faith, history, and the tension between ancient truths and modern identity. Writing American Gothic poetry under Professor Peppercorn, he leans into mood, memory, and the weight of inherited stories. Whether for the screen or the page, he is drawn to stories that feel timeless—stories that wrestle with where we come from, what we believe, and what we choose to build next.
