Hey, I'm Joe!
Minnetonka, Minnesota
Writer living in Minnesota. I work in television in various capacities, and sometimes am lucky enough to create cinematic experiences.
As a writer, I have published several comics and a book of short stories. In film, I've directed a few shorts and recently produced the indie feature Cruel Hearts by writer/director Paul Osborne.
I look forward to many more creative experiences in the coming year!
