- About Me
I'm just your average 24 year old musical theater writer who finds inspiration in freak air disasters of the 1930s. "Hindenburg: The Musical" is my first stab at writing for the stage and it marked my second collaboration with my friend Ryan McCulloch. I just got my MFA from NYU Graduate Musical Theater Writing Program and I'm currently workshopping a musical comedy called "I'll Be Damned" about a homeschooled kid who sells his soul to the Devil in exchange for a friend.
