I am a writer and producer living in Brooklyn, NY. After working in television production for several years, on the sets of live televised events, promos, commercials, and reality tv, I made the switch to children’s media. Now, I write and produce content for toys and interactive games. When I'm not writing elegant prose for preschoolers, I write novels and short stories. My writer's journey started when I was 6 years old and my father brought home an Apple computer. All we had on it was Pac Man and a word processing program. After about 2,000 rounds of Pac Man I had moved on to the word processing program and I learned that typing on it could provide hours worth of entertainment.
The first short story I remember writing was about little Cathy (named after the comic strip) who was afraid of her elderly neighbor. Then she rolled down a hill, hit a rock, and, all bruised and battered, was carried home to safety by that neighbor. It was all very Boo Radley and dark and real. To this day, I still write stories about people who have complicated feelings about the people they know and the world they live in. These are the kind of stories I love to read. They are the kind I love to tell.
After years of stories, creative writing classes, workshops, and an MFA in Screenwriting which sent me on a strange detour into television production, I've finally decided to become a writer. I don't know what that means. The truth is, I would like for you to one day hold a book I wrote in your hands. And so, I take another turn and see where it all leads.
