About Gregory

I am a professional screenwriter with years of experience in feature films and television programming. I have six produced films, including the Starz original family film (that I also directed) called "Chilly Christmas." I've also written shows for NBC, ESPN, CBS, FOX, and most recently was head writer for "The Wonderful World of Disney" on ABC. I have also been an Educator, with years of experience as an English teacher from the Freshman to Senior grade levels, at the accredited High Schools of Agoura Hills and Calabasas. In addition, I have been a swimming and water polo coach at all levels.

Unlike some English tutors, I am able to apply real world experience to demystify the writing process, and therefore make it more relatable to students. I understand the challenges of being a storyteller, whether its a Persuasive Essay, an Interview, or a College Application. Being a writer and teacher who has raised a successful (now adult) daughter, I understand the challenges facing students today.

I think that you will find my unique level of real-world experience, along with methods learned from being an Educator at the high school level, to be the exact kind of help you're looking for. Feel free to reach out, and let me understand your needs!
