“My story begins the same as most – I was born, grew up, learned to read, hated math, played baseball and video games, visited Disneyland, read “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” watched “Peter Pan” and “Mary Poppins”, became fascinated with the child-like Empress, and wondered if I, too, could create such wonderful stories.
It started with the adventures of a runaway soda can and the trials of a defective popcorn maker. It lead to awards for descriptive essays and poetry. But those were assignments. I first tasted the desire to write for no other reason than to explore an idea, a theme, a meaning, a possible truth about how life works in the wake of high school. I used Goldman, Sorkin, Disney, Adams, Dahl, and quite a few others as my inspiration and my teachers. And finally, I learned enough to write, produce, direct, and star in my own broadway style musical which was better and more successful than I could have predicted (and I have a pretty good imagination.)
Now, I am forging ahead, independently, to produce stories in a medium I can manage - without having to fight the political system of Hollywood and publishing - audio. And I love it. I look forward to sharing my vision of the classic fairy tales and stories as well as my original works in this intimate and imaginative medium of sound. Thanks again for your interest and I look forward to offering much in return.”
