Hi! This is me (actually, this is Button, my cross-eyed cat).

I’m still trying to decide what I’m going to be when I grow up. I’ve been a technical writer, TV writer-producer in Los Angeles, personal essayist, medical writer/editor, and writing instructor. I not only teach at CityTech, but also currently at Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema (episodic tv writing), and have taught at UCLA, Portland State University, Chemeketa Community College, the Art Institute of Portland (I swear I’m not the one that put it out of business!), and some I can’t remember.

I started life in Texas, moved to Seattle, then back to Houston, then Austin, then Los Angeles, then Portland OR, and finally to Brooklyn in 2014 to be closer to my family. I grow herbs, play on my Switch, read a lot, walk a lot, and hang out with Button a lot. We recently lost my other cat, Bailey, and Button’s still lonely, but he does remind me that life is precious… which is why I chose this image.
