My Background
I’m a curious and passionate storyteller who enjoys collaboration. Whether I’m working with creative teams and actors on my plays, serving as a dramaturg on a production or new play development, leading writer workshops, or working one-on-one with writers on their processes and pieces, I am enthusiastic to explore the potential of stories in playful, meaningful ways for the writer, the work, and the audience.
The best writing comes from our subconscious — from that quiet and mysterious place. I enjoy working with writers to access and to trust their subconscious instincts. Approaching writing from this direction reveals a unique, fascinating, and endless well of inspiration.
“His approach is gentle, his competency robust. He is a prolific and curious writer whose plays always charm me. Generous is the word that comes immediately to mind when I reflect on the impact he's had on the Phoenix theatre scene. I admire him greatly as an artist and art facilitator.”
- Kim Porter, Writer/Performer/Writing Coach
