I've spent my whole life making myself laugh and getting other people to laugh with me—my parents, my siblings, my teachers, sometimes even my friends. I started writing material down when I was in middle school and ended up having my very first play, an early version of Good Knight and Goodbye (the latest draft of which is on this very website!), produced when I was fourteen years old in my hometown of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

As a professional playwright, and amateur human being, I exist in the "fun paradox" of intersections as a proud, progressive gay man who is navigating and wrestling with a religious upbringing while also maintaining some messy semblance of a faith despite a very mixed (both deeply critical and begrudgingly empathetic) relationship with organized Christianity. I channel a lot of this intersection in varying degrees in my own writing. I see the creation of art and entertainment on both the company and audience level as a radical act of interfaith worship in and of itself—there is something magical about creating something together, regardless of who you are, what you bring to the table, or what you believe.

Striving to make the world a better place for ALL people (all ethnicities, orientations, genders, nations, religions, disabilities, and any other category I missed) through making people laugh and think is at the heart of what I create. I carry this purpose out through my writing and producing of film and theater—not only through the finished product of the play or the movie, but also through the process of writing the piece and building out the team. It's my honor to share my work with you, and if you like what you see here, please get in touch!
