I write for television (previously scripted (HBO) ; most recently variety (late night show on cable). Prior to that, I was a story analyst for a studio. Prior to that I lived in New York and wrote literary fiction and stageplays and ate a lot of top ramen.

I'm easy-going, travel whenever I'm on a hiatus, have a spacious place in Los Angeles, and thought this would be a good new network to inhabit.

*NOTE FOR POTENTIAL GUESTS* -- My apartment has limited accommodations, so I cannot host more than ONE guest at a time! If you are traveling in a group, I cannot host! Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live in a city that's often visited and tend to travel to cities with that same virtue; it'd be nice to have the liberty to meet new residents of these cities in the process.

Any and all doors open will be reciprocated if you ever find yourself in Los Angeles, and if you're a film fan, I can take a guest to my WGA screenings; feel free to join!
