My first paid writing gig was creating :30 and :60 second radio commercials—good training for telling stories economically. For a few decades my day job was writing/editing marketing collateral and content, often for high flying (and fast crashing) startup tech companies. I’ve written for industries including tech, health & wellness, and theatre. My spec TV pilot "Wickenburg" made it to the final round of the Santa Barbara International Screenplay Awards Summer Competition; it also made the 2022 semifinalist round of the Scriptation screenplay contest, and the 2022 quarterfinalist rounds of Table Read My Screenplay, Emerging Screenwriters, and LA Screenplay Summer contests, and first place in the 2022 Kay Snow screenplay awards. In 2020, my feature script "Paint for Your Life" (about the art forger Han van Meegeren) made it to the semifinals in two contests: Finish Line and Scriptation. I have an Oregon Book Award for Drama (2004) for coauthoring "Vitriol & Violets", a play about the fascinatin' denizens of the Algonquin Round Table. I’m easy to work with, and I make deadlines.
