About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am a writer. I don't have a TV in my living room because I believe that my friends and the people I have over are more entertaining than any movie or television show could be. Writing for me is super easy when I surround myself with interesting folks.

ABOUT ME

Born in a little town just outside of Philly. Moved to Elizabethtown in 1996. Went to parochial schools for my primary and secondary education (Church of Atonement, St. Peter, Seven Sorrows BVM, and Lancaster Catholic). I went to Millersville University, working toward a Bachelors of Arts in English and minoring in Theatre. I developed my love for theatre in elementary school and it grew and was nurtured in high school. My interests in being in theatre as a career only matured between my senior year of high school and the first day of college. I plan on writing and directing in both theatre and film. I have written several ten-minute plays and have been working on a full length for quite some time. I have been on stage in nine productions and have directed in a play festival at Millersville. Currently, I am directing the theatre department at my Alma Mater. As I go through life, I hope to switch from the performance side of theatre to mostly directing and getting my plays read and produced. While I am in Lancaster, I plan to perform locally, and hone my craft as a playwright and director.
I worked at Prince Street Cafe, one of Lancaster's most renown locals, for 2.5 years in Lancaster developing my coffee snobbery and love of a good Breve Cappucino. Now and then, I design posters, logos, or t-shirt designs. I started my own t-shirt business called BAKEWEAR in early 2008 and have released a few designs. When I have more free time and money, I plan to concentrate on this business and perhaps open up a cafe associated with BAKEWEAR. It's an idea, but if I could make my money with BAKEWEAR and write and direct locally, I would be a happy man.

PHILOSOPHY

There is a personal spirituality that I possess that I feel everyone must attain individually. I am constantly working on improving myself so that, in turn, I can improve the world.
