Member of the Columbus Film Critics Association. Lifelong Cleveland fan—yes, even the Browns (send help). I write with blunt honesty, sharp humor, and a conversational tone. I won’t shy away from hard truths, and I’m not afraid to shred your favorite franchise’s latest release if it earns it. I believe in brevity (thank you, Hemingway and Mark Manson) and live by Twain’s rule: “Don’t use a five-dollar word when a fifty-cent one will do.”
To me, movies aren’t just entertainment—they’re reflections of humanity. They show us who we are, who we aren’t, and who we could be. Whether it’s indie gems or big-budget blockbusters, it’s a privilege to witness and write about the stories artists bring to life. I review films on their own terms—no politics, no PR spin. Film is a team effort, and every project deserves either their flowers or a fair, honest critique.
