I am a screenwriter, playwright, educator and designer with a keen interest in making original creations both great and small. I am a believer in hands on exploration and the value of both success and failure. I try to push my students and myself to recognize the difference between "what you know"​ and "what you think you know". My authored works have have been recognized, awarded and produced nationwide. I love stories and am fascinated by our need for them. It's our stories that will save us. I'm a big film buff and have been a theater lover since i was a kid.
