Meanwhile, he lives outside Minneapolis where the temperature is currently 406 degrees colder than wherever you are. He resides there with a wife, two kids and a half-working iPad which means that he is, at best, the fifth most important thing in his house.

His play The Watchers was awarded to the 2016 Broadway Producer List (NYC). Other plays of his have received nice awards, too. If anyone cares.

He teaches classes at The Playwrights’ Center. His work has been published by Smith & Kraus, Original Works and Dramatic Publishing.

His mother wants him to smile more.
