Serialized storytelling has been my obsession since I was a kid glued to the television. Writing for Guiding Light wasn't just a job. It was the dream, and I got to do it alongside writers I had long admired.

What I still believe: you don't bend characters to serve the story. You let the characters create it. Everything follows from that.

I executive produced The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, worked multiple seasons of Orange County, and produced reunion specials for Beverly Hills and Dallas. The format changes. The instinct doesn't.

Now I'm developing microdramas: vertical, fast, every episode ending somewhere you can't walk away from.

Outside of television, I write fiction. Los Angeles based.
