The brief resume below the picture should give you an idea of the kinds of work I've done over the years. As you'll see, I'm a generalist, not a specialist. I've completed countless (well, almost) television projects, and I've also written for websites and even done experimental film (Our Time In the Garden is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art). If you like what you see, you can contact me by clicking on this link:
