  • Summary

  • Born and raised in MN, I moved to TN to get out of the cold when I was 25. I now live near Nashville TN, I have a wife and a 21yr old son. I've worked in retail most of my life. Over the last few years I had been doing podcasts as well, and had formed some friendships with a couple film makers that were going to do a film with the lead having Down syndrome.

    During that time I found out that over 75% of prenatal diagnosis’s of Down syndrome are terminated, and it just broke my heart. So I learned everything I could about Down syndrome. And then I had an idea, an idea for a short film that showed what so many pregnant women hear, “I’m sorry, your baby has Down syndrome”, versus what they should hear, “Congratulations”. So I wrote my first short film, and it was released in July of 2023, called “More Than a Diagnosis”. It is only 3 min and 21 sec long on purpose because Down syndrome is a 3rd copy of the 21st chromosome. It has also won an award in NY Staten Island film festival.
