About Me

Hello! I’m a critically acclaimed LA based writer.

Theater

As a playwright, my work has been produced at NYC’s Second Stage Theatre, Chicago’s Victory Gardens, Actors Theatre of Louisville, LA’s Colony Theater, and many others around the country and internationally.

My plays include BUILD, YEAR ZERO, and COWBOY VERSUS SAMURAI. Year Zero was Grand Prize winner of Chicago Dramatists’ Many Voices Project and was nominated for a Jeff Award for Best New Work. I was also one of the writers on Actors Theatre of Louisville’s 2012 Anthology Project for the Humana Festival of New Plays.

I am a member of New Dramatists (class of 2016) and a recipient of a Helen Merrill Award. My work can be found in print by Samuel French and in anthologies by Smith and Kraus.

I’m currently working on new play commissions for Second Stage and South Coast Rep.

Film

My feature PLEASE STAND BY was selected for the Tribeca Film Festival’s On Track development program.

My short film “Dragon of Love” (directed by Doan La, produced by Hieu Ho), won Best Short Film at the Hawaii International Film Festival and ran in regular rotation on the Sundance Channel.

Misc.

I’m an avid jogger: I run 40 miles a week. My favorite snacks: Tuna, bananas, toast, hard boiled eggs, and Twix.
