Born into the sweltering suburbs of St. Louis, raised on the windy beaches of Cape Cod, now settled in the Catskills of upstate New York after years in Los Angeles.
After film school in Boston I started at the very bottom, driving trucks in New York City. All the while I've been writing shorts, pilots, and features, falling head over heels for the form and the process, with scripts placing in the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals of PAGE, BlueCat, Scriptapalooza, ScreenCraft, StoryPros, and others.
In directing I've made narrative and documentary shorts selected by SXSW, featured on Short of the Week, and Vimeo Staff Picked. I'm drawn to sincerity, to humor that earns its place beside it, and to stories that have already happened to somebody.
