About Me

Greetings from Hoboken, New Jersey!  


I am a comedic playwright and screenwriter for film, theatre and fiction represented by Anthony Tall in LA. I teach writing classes for The Hudson Valley Writers Center, and frequently work as a script doctor both nationally and internationally.


PLAYWRITING HIGHLIGHTS


My full-length play "Delulu" was selected as a semi-finalist for Centre Stage's 23rd Annual New Play Festival (1 of 40 plays from 800 submissions). "Delulu" received a very well attended staged reading at the Episcopal Actors' Guild in NYC October, 2025. "Delulu" was published this March by Feels Blind Literary for their 13th issue and read at AWP Baltimore.
