I moved to Chicago in 2002 to study theatre and pursue ambitions of becoming a method actor. After co-founding Three Leaves, an original works theatre company, and running it into the ground, I fell in love with the process of writing, evolving from writing plays and screenplays to reveling in the freedom and challenges of prose. As a member of the XIII Pocket Collective in Chicago, I contributed short stories to several issues of the annual publication "Seeding Meat" and also work-shopped my play "Bosto" with the collective as part of the DCA Studio Theatre's Incubator series. In 2009 I experimented with self publishing my illustrated storybook "Whiskey Pike: A Bedtime Story for the Drinking Mankind" and the novella "Turban Tan." Currently I'm a member of the comedy production group Wood Sugars where we perform in live sketch shows, make films, podcast, and write epic feature length cartoons. I recently released the novel "Votary Nerves." Feel free to follow my blog TheIglooOven.com.
