About Michael
As a former U.S. Marine turned screenwriter, I bring discipline, integrity, and creativity into every lesson I teach. My approach to creative writing is rooted in ethical storytelling, historical authenticity, and cinematic clarity, whether you're crafting character-driven scenes or building period-accurate dialogue. I coach aspiring writers to connect with audiences on an emotional level while respecting cultural nuance and narrative truth. With a strong foundation in rhetorical strategy and communication design, I help students transform their ideas into impactful, production-ready scripts and stories. My sessions combine Socratic questioning, collaborative critique, and hands-on writing exercises that foster both confidence and originality. Whether you're preparing for film school, refining your portfolio, or simply eager to write with purpose, I offer professional support tailored to your goals.

- Story-Driven Learning: I treat every lesson like a narrative arc—beginning with context, deepening with conflict (aka challenge), and ending with resolution through skill mastery.
- Socratic Engagement: Instead of lecturing, I pose targeted questions that sharpen students' critical thinking and creative instincts.
- Ethical Grounding: I encourage writers to consider audience impact, representation, and emotional integrity, because good stories also do good.
- Historically Informed Dialogue: I bring my background in historical linguistics to help students craft period-accurate and genre-faithful voices.
