Artistic Statement

I am a playwright, screenwriter, and founding partner of Flying Moose Pictures, a San Francisco-based video production company. My work as a video producer and director has allowed me privileged access to behind-the-scenes stories of performing artists, non-profits and corporations. These opportunities have inspired many of my sixty short plays, five full-length plays, and two screenplays. I have engaged theater and film audiences with a wide range of topics including genetic engineering, neurology, the pitfalls of romantic and familial love, consumer marketing, and the struggles of an immigrant family. 

I write dark comedies about serious, contemporary topics. My goal is to engage audiences through humor and high stakes. I judge the success of my work largely by the length and depth of discussion that follows a performance.

I am a playwright because live theater invites audiences to experience other points of view and builds community, both experiences that  are ever more important in our time of great social and political dissonance.
