I was born in Houston, Texas, but my parents soon made the unfortunate decision to move to a small town an hour and a half away where I spent most of my formative years escaping back to the city. I attended Boston University where I graduated with my BFA in Theatre (Directing, Playwrighting, Acting) in 1993. Upon graduation, I moved to New York City where I began performing my one-man shows in the East Village/Alphabet City (back when it was still scary). For four years, I freelanced as a director and writer before moving back home to Houston. I met a beautiful woman named Sammi Sicinski, married her, and we started our own company, Bulletproof Productions. Together we produced three independent films, a revival of Jane Martin's "Anton in Show Business," had lots of fun, made no money, got inspired, and moved to New York in 2004 (my second life in NYC, for anyone who’s keeping score). In 2007, I graduated from Brooklyn College with my MFA in Directing. In 2008, I directed a production of two of my own one-act plays at Impact Theater in Brooklyn. The show was such a huge success that the theater closed and is now a lingerie boutique. My wife and I were undaunted by this sign from the gods, but we were quite daunted by the skyrocketing rent prices as the real estate bubble reached its peak in 2008 and threatened to burst all over us. So we moved back home to Houston, bought a house, adopted more dogs, and continued our tradition of making independent films, staging independent productions, having lots of fun, and making no money.
On the horizon, we have plans to stage an original play, then, at the end of the run, use the same actors to shoot the film version of the story. (It’s a completely original idea we stole from the producers of "The History Boys" on Broadway.)
​Still further on the horizon, we plan to continue producing original independent works and adopting utterly dependent dogs.
