    Creative Director
    Future House Publishing Nov 2014 - Present
    Provo, Utah, Us
    I founded Future House Publishing, a publisher of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Children's Books with a growing list of authors and roots in Hollywood cinematic storytelling. Launched in late 2014, I built Future House from the ground up to be a storytelling machine. I developed the strategic business model, built and managed the team, secured national distribution, acquired and published nearly 50 titles in the first 2 years -- far beyond what most startup publishers dare to do -- propelled books onto bestseller lists, and sold movie rights. Such an ambitious undertaking has captured the attention of publishing industry peers: both authors, agents and fellow publishers. By inventing and executing innovative sales methods I have paved a pathway to prosperity in an entrenched, struggling industry, and proven that story is still king.
