Trained with a philosopher’s drive for questions and an editor’s obsession with clarity, I write plays that explore what it means to be grounded in a chaotic world.

On Thursday, Dec. 11, 2025, at 7 p.m. the Reading Theater Project will produce a staged reading of “Jacob and Ebenezer: A Love Story,” my full-length prequel to Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” This performance features scripts-in-hand readings by actors and limited blocking, and will be the first time this play has had a public audience.
If you’re in the Reading, Pa., area, you can buy pay-what-you-will tickets here.

The Richter Scale
I rarely blog, but when I do, I publish them at The Richter Scale. That joke doesn’t do as well among seismologists as you’d think.
Mirror Pond
A walking audio play set in the Reading Public Museum arboretum, this piece was produced for Reading Theater Project’s “In Nature’s Studio” in 2021. The audio and a walking map are available at this page.
About Me
I have been a journalist for more than 20 years and a playwright for the past eight. These days my work has me doing data analysis for digital news leaders around the U.S. My plays have been produced in Houston, Texas, Leeds, U.K. and a smattering of places in between.
