About the DUDE
Since 2nd grade I have wanted to create worlds full of wild adventures and creative characters. I've longed to build stories that would enthrall viewers and readers as much as they would inspire them while pushing the boundaries of our classical notions of genre fiction.
I have spent my life creating concepts for countless tales and am now working towards my masters and seeking publication for two book series. I enjoy creating worlds based off of mixed style of genre elements and cultural themes, from my travels around the world. I often use techniques not commonly explored before, and from various fields of Pop Culture. This style I have dubbed "Chainsaw Fiction".
