I make things. Screenplays, TV series, music, software, systems. Sometimes the things connect to each other. Sometimes they don't. The thread running through all of it is a fascination with how people work — how we decide, how we grieve, how we build, how we break.

By day I'm a product manager in tech. By night I'm a screenwriter working on a feature film and two series. In a past life I was a musician who wrote around forty songs and then stopped for twenty years. I'm a husband and a father and I drink too much coffee and I stay up too late making things that might matter to someone.

This site is a home for all of it. Each project lives in its own world with its own rules. The series bibles are navigable. The scripts are downloadable. The things that aren't finished yet say so.
