I'm a native of Chicago who fled to California years ago and don't ever intend to leave. From 1993 to 2005, I served as the director of the Central Coast Writers Conference at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo. In 2016, I joined the faculty of the Rocaberti Screenwriting Retreat in Barcelona, Spain.

I wrote the screenplay for the romantic comedy "Authors Anonymous" (2014), which starred Kaley Cuoco, Chris Klein, Jonathan Banks, and Dennis Farina. I was Associate Producer for both "Geek" (2022) and "Day 6" (in post production). I have a couple scripts currently under option, but things move rather slowly, don't they?
