I'm an award-winning movie critic, playwright, actor and director. My work has appeared in publications ranging from the New Times weeklies (where I was a staff writer for several years) to USA Today, from Phoenix Magazine and Wrangler News and the East Valley Tribune to the Erie Times-News, Seattle Times and Detroit Metro Times to Rewind Magazine to Elysian Fields Quarterly. I'm that rare example of a living poet who has had a sonnet published in Weird Tales.
Born in Erie, PA, I've lived in Phoenix, AZ, for more than a decade, and have written for much of the city's print media. I've acted in theatre productions in six states and the District of Columbia, and appear for about six seconds as an extra (a prison guard) in the John Waters film Cry-Baby. I directed Shakespeare's Measure for Measure at Southwest Shakespeare Festival, and a short film called Holding Back the Dawn, based on a short story by my friend Barry Graham. I was host of Another Saturday Night, a pop culture and film review show on KTAR radio. I have produced, directed and acted in radio plays that have been heard on KTAR and the Sun Sounds Radio service, and my original radio play Scorpion City was staged live in 2005 at the Arizona Biltmore as part of the Phoenix area NPR affiliates' "Summer To-Do" series.
