About Me

Ever since nine-year-old me was sent to the school guidance counselor for creating untimely ninja wizard comics, I knew I wanted to be a writer.

First, I was born. And things started off rough. I was short, had very little hair, and the only word I knew was WAAAAAH!

Eventually I grew up enough to learn lots of age-inappropriate words and draw bizarre stick-figure comics with lots of combat. Sure, these earned me a trip to the guidance counselor, but they also got me published in the school paper. When I saw all that stories could do, I knew I wanted to be a writer.

Since then I’ve created a lot of stories. Some were award-winning plays that sold out theaters in NYC, Chicago, Kansas City, and NC. Some were one-of-a-kind brand experiences for legendary companies like Coach, Meta, GE, LinkedIn, and Paramount. Some were product and company brand messaging that led to IPOs and successful acquisitions.

What binds all these together is my belief that stories matter. By telling unique, true, and deeply human stories, we can change how people see the world. Your story has that potential—and I want to help you reach it.
