I write music and lyrics for live theater, film, and television, including animation. My musicals have been produced on both coasts, and throughout the United States. I've received several prestigious awards for my writing, including the Ovation Award, the Garland Award, and two Los Angeles Drama Critics' Circle Awards, most recently for JUSTIN LOVE in 2013 (Best Score).My latest musical LADYKILLERS began its development as part of the 2013 Rhinebeck Writers'Retreat. My co -writer and frequent collaborator Patricia Cotter and I expect our first production of LADYKILLERS in Fall 2014.I've been lucky to work with entertainment professionals at the very top of their respective fields: writers, directors, choreographers, designers, producers, and actors.I continue to enjoy performing, and singing as one of the principal cantors at Saint Victor in West Hollywood. I am a proud member of ASCAP.
