"I write for film/tv/theater: As a playwright, I've been produced in a number of places domestically and internationally. I've won a few awards, including the EST Next Step Fellowship, the Walter Dakin Fellowship at the Sewanee Writers Conference, the Hamptons Film Festival's screenwriting conference, the Playwrights Center/Guthrie Theater's Two-Headed challenge, and the 25th Annual Samuel French Off-Off Broadway Awards. Currently, I'm partnering with David Murrell (my frequent collaborator) and director Jo Bonney to adapt the best seller Lifespan of a Fact to the stage." (2015)
