Bio
I write and perform in Los Angeles. My first screenplay Stone was included in the Outfest Screenwriter’s Lab and my second script Drool won the Slamdance Screenwriting Competition. I directed Drool, now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. I won a short screenwriting competition with my short Shave which was then produced by Christine Vachon and Killer Films. My TV pilot Georgie Girl was a finalist in the Austin Film Festival’s sitcom competition. I'm a high school theatre teacher at Eagle Rock H.S. where I directed my original musical Mick & Beth Rule the School an adaptation of Macbeth set to an 80s new wave soundtrack. I've written several short stories, personal essays and plays. My most recent play Vigil is based loosely on the time my father was on his death bed. It's a comedy. I live with my wife, pug, Ziggy and chug, Bo, in Los Angeles.
