I’m a professional screenwriter and producer best known for my work on the HBO miniseries BAND OF BROTHERS and FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON, for which I wrote multiple episodes, and won two Emmy and two Golden Globe Awards for helping to produce.

I’ve also sold a variety of drama series pitches to the big four networks, and have recently been developing a comedy pilot with one of the studios. I've worked on the writing staff for two primetime dramas, and written feature screenplays on assignment for companies like Universal, HBO, TNT, and Playtone.

I also teach in National University's MFA Screenwriting Program, speak regularly at writing conferences, and offer one-on-one consulting to writers.

I got my start as an assistant to Tom Hanks, who gave me the opportunity to help him write and produce FROM THE EARTH TO THE MOON, after reading some sitcom spec scripts I had written.

I’m currently represented by Creative Artists Agency.
