About Me

I am a playwright, sound designer, composer, video editor, and director based in Ithaca, NY. I am co-director of Story House Ithaca, an organization that brings people together to share, study, create, and enjoy stories in all their forms. I co-founded and continue to be an organizer of Porchfest, a festival that began in Ithaca in 2007 and now takes place in more than 200 cities across North America. I worked for over twenty years at the Kitchen Theatre Company, working on dozens of productions in various capacities and helping to grow the organization. My play about abortion research, The Turnaway Play, has had one full production and dozens of readings, with more planned. I am also a sometime swing dance instructor!
