About

I work most of the time as a producer of reality TV, and I also write when I can.  I’ve contributed time and tears to “Supernanny” (ABC), “World’s Strictest Parents” (CMT), “Sunset Tan” (E!), “Making the Band 4″ (MTV), “Trading Spouses” (FOX) and others.  I feel pretty lucky to get to tell stories for a living, travel around, and work with creative and fun people.  It’s not a bad life.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t leave much time for writing.  I am currently seeking publication for my first novel, Hell Hunter.  I also have a growing stack of scripts, sketches and stories that I pick at when I can.  I have done some some stand-up over the years and studied sketch writing at the Second City.  Bills must be paid, but the writing always calls.

I have more interests than I have time for.  I dig movies (epic adventures and dark comedies, ideally), TV, video games, comic books and books without pictures.

I was born in Seattle, WA, went to Garfield and Lake Washington high schools and eventually earned my Creative Writing degree from the University of Washington.  I currently live in Santa Monica, CA.
