I began writing plays in 2002 after years of writing short fiction, magazine articles and newspaper columns, just to see if I could. Turns out I could, and since then my full-length comedies and short works have been performed at small theaters and festivals around the country--27 of them to date, including the Boston Theater Marathon (2006 and 2007), the Off-off Broadway Chester Horn Short Play Festival (2006 and 2007), Acme Theater's New Works Winter Festival (2006-2008) and more. My first play, Dinner for Several, won the 2004 James Sunwall New Play Award and was called "a thinking person's Friends" by the judges. My short plays "Brushstroke" and "That Thing" will appear in the Smith & Kraus anthologies Best Ten-Minute Plays of 2007, 2 Actors and Best Ten-Minute Plays of 2008, 2 Actors, respectively. And my one-act comedy, "Bob's Date" will be published in mid-2008 by Heuer Publishing. I genuinely consider all of this a wonderful, unexpected and welcome blessing.

I've also acted in several community theater productions and small films in the last few years. Favorite roles include Charles Condomine in Blithe Spirit (for which I was favorably compared to John Cleese), Alex Fontenot in Hotel Faux Pas, John Cristow in The Hollow (where I was "wonderfully detestable" according to one reviewer) and Jack Palmer in The Boys Next Door.
