playwright | screenwriter | actor

I create dramatic stories for the stage, screen, and ear buds that are part rock concert, part athletic event, part campfire. I believe in the power of Shakespeare, Hip-Hop, Vegetarian Diets, Hiking Boots, outcasts, underdogs, and Punk Rock music.

I’m interested in what happens to communities, partners, and strangers when we hear stories which bring the dark scars of our mistakes to light. I want to protect and evolve the act of language-based storytelling— the first form of human connection— from the digital mediums that will increasingly replace and automate our connection to each other.

Crisis Counselor Volunteer. We need to listen to each other more.
