WHAT I DO:
Create TV, Film and Stage content. I also consult and collaborate with performers and screenwriters shaping material for video, daytime TV, film and stage projects.
NEW MOVE: Late 2016 brought me to New York City. I am a member of Writers Guild of America, and contribute to an entertainment/professional group led by Jim Arnoff of The Arnoff Company. The gatherings inspire more productivity, networking and its opposite——self-reliance.
I also moonlight as a ghostwriter for entrepreneurs and entertainment-minded clients. I am also a publishing consultant. My fiction and poetry (soon) mingle in my production schedule with new TV and FILM projects. Making stuff excites me.
NEW PROJECTS: 1 one-hour TV pilot, 1 half-hour TV pilot and feature film screenplay.
THE PAST: My plays have been performed in New York, California, Michigan, Connecticut and Massachusetts——arts councils from the latter 3 states have awarded me playwriting grants.
As an actor I performed off-Broadway in new plays by Steve Tesich, Robert Anderson and Stephen Metcalfe. Also performed in regional theaters, such as Actors Theatre of Louisville, and I toured with John Houseman's The Acting Company.
Directed the inaugural productions of my plays, A Blue Note Memory of Harvey and Ricky, Commencement Swim, and Verging on the Mona Lisa.
My plays have been produced in NYC as well as regionally, Including the Old Globe Theatre.
Graduate of The Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre, where I studied with Sanford Meisner, William Alderson, and William Esper.
Unique traits: TV, Film, fiction and nonfiction. Ghostwriter. Publishing consultant. Songwriter.
