After careers as a clinical psychologist and attorney, I retired in 2012 to devote myself to screenwriting, producing and occasional acting. Since then, I have produced a number of short films and two features based on my screenplays, including the feature FEVER DREAMS which continues to stream on Amazon Prime, Tubi, Apple TV and YouTube's Thriller platform. I'm currently pitching my TV pilot "The Sessions", a six episode limited series based on murderer's groups I ran years ago. The pilot has garnered 9 Best Film or Pilot Awards in the last 6 months, including a win for Best Drama TV Pilot at the prestigious North Fork TV festival and a win for Best Thriller Pilot at the NYC TV and Film Awards. In the month of April 2025 alone, "The Sessions" picked up a dozen more awards, including the grand Pinata prize for Best in Show at the Fiesta SATX festival in San Antonio, TX. We are actively seeking production partners to develop the rest of the series.
I also have plans to produce to feature scripts in 2025-2026; a noir Western thriller called "Ghost Walker" and a crime thriller called "Shadow Men". I recently adapted the screenplay from "Shadow Men" into a full novel, which is now available on Amazon and a number of store outlets.
