about

I try to wrap my work around one single, simpe thing. I usually learn a lot and then communicate what I've learned.  

I mix comedy and tragedy unapologetically because I think they're really the same thing, but you could call most of what I write comedy. My work is far from avant-garde—as a Neo-Futurist, I learned how to make the unconventional populist.

I like to tell stories about my past and our past, but in a broader sense, I'm moved to write about the human condition. I'm compelled to learn and communicate lessons derived from people's failures and successes. I'm inspired by the clarity and murkiness of hindsight, familiar subjects studied through unfamiliar lenses and sweeping surveys distilled into easy-to-follow, symbolic stage pictures.
