About Ralph

I am a poet, an historian, and a writer for stage and screen, but foremost a responder to Jesus (Romans 5:8).

I have been employed over forty years in the entertainment industry, the last thirty of which I have crunched numbers successively for three of the top ten theater circuits in the US.

In 1993 I took a class at the NW Film Center in Portland OR. I studied screenwriting under Roger Margolis. Since that time I have completed four screenplays. (The fourth I am serializing on my blog Watch This Space - see under my links).

In October 2014, I completed my first stageplay, (in three acts) entitled "The OutR Dark." I have a table read coming up soon and will tackle any rewrites based on feedback.

I am currently writing my fifth screenplay.

I am hoping to secure an agent for these and future works and other writings of an historical nature.
