Bio
I attended the University of Michigan and received a Bachelor's of General Studies concentrating in film, video, theater and writing. I have directed a couple of short films, the play Getting Out by Marsha Norman, and the short works of Woody Allen, Lanford Wilson, Christopher Durang, August Strindberg, William Saroyan, and others. I also wrote, produced, directed, and held a starring role in two low budget feature films. The first one, a light romantic comedy called Harvest Moon, is not yet available on DVD. The second one, Dark September Rain, is a sequel of sorts that explores what a spiritual reaction to an event like September 11th might be. It is avaialable at Amazon.
I have also written several unproduced screenplays and plays, worked behind the camera as a cinematographer on low budget projects, designed sets and lights for the stage, gaffed the feature film The Four Corners of Nowhere, and taught acting to children.
In June of 2009, I completed a two-year interfaith seminary program and became an ordained interspiritual minister. The program was through
The One Spirit Learning Alliance, which runs the seminary as well as a spiritual counseling program and many other wonderful offerings.
While I am still interested in film and theater, my current focus is independently publishing my young adult fantasy and science fiction novels and their sequels. I am also revising the manuscript of The Chrysalis Age for eventual independent publication. You can follow the progress of that project on my blog.
I live with my wife, in Brooklyn, NY.
