With a career in television and film that spans everything from true crime to science fiction, John brings cinematic suspense and emotional realism to every page he writes. His on-screen credits include See No Evil, An Unexpected Killer, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Doc, Danno’s Escape, Meet the Taylors, and international commercials for SkipTheDishes and Starbucks.

His paranormal thriller series, The Other Side, follows a woman trapped between two worlds—grieving the past while navigating a chilling new ability to see the dead.
