Most of my writing has been in the half-hour and one-hour television space, both in comedy and drama, and I especially enjoy scripts that blend the two into dramedy -- finding the right balance between humor and deeper scenes of emotion and personal conflict. Relationship-based stories, light genre, situation comedy, and superhero stuff tends to be my forte.
Horror, political stories, hard science-fiction, intense action.
