I am a writer, director, and producer of theatrical work, both live and recorded, who moved back to my hometown of Omaha, NE after living in New York City for a few years. I want to help you find your place in the performing arts, sharpen your craft, and make the kind of art you want to see in the world.
I graduated from Nebraska Wesleyan University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre Studies and a Minor in Music. My playwriting has been produced live with Equity Library Theatre, the Cut/Edge Collective, The Secret Theatre, Bad Mouth Theatre Company, and more. I've produced recorded work with Rougue Theatre Festival, Caravan Theatre, and the production company I helped found Wolf Mountain Workshop. I am lucky to have directed and produced many of the shows I've written, and I've even acted in a few of them.
In addition to my work in theatre and audio mediums, I write poetry, design tabletop role-playing games, write music, play bass guitar, and practice photography.
