He has a BA in Economics from Georgetown University, and an MFA in Screenwriting from The University of Southern California.
Professionally, he switches between writing and accounting. He has been the Controller for several startups, and wrote video games based on Hannah Montana, High School Musical, and Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader.

He grew up obese, then in his mid-20s figured out an effective strategy for losing weight, and has kept the weight off since. His strategies for how to build the habits for lifelong weight-loss, without relying on willpower, are laid out in his book The Weight Loss Habit: The No BS, No Gimmick, (Sort of) Easy Way to Lose Weight and Keep It Off Forever.
He splits his time between Los Angeles and West Tennessee, with his wife and an ever-changing amount of foster kittens.
