I'm a writer-producer with a background in grounded political and psychological thrillers, true-story and historical dramas, premium one-hour drama, and character comedy. Right now I'm especially excited to work on: feature thrillers, true-story and historical drama features and limited series, premium character-driven one-hour drama, smart comedic features and half-hour comedies, and family/all-audiences feature animation. I'm also a big sports fan and love a great sports story, whether features or series. I have a strong development and structure background, with a particular ear for dialogue, so I'm especially useful to writers working on tightening concept, structure, dialogue, and marketability. I'm happy to work across other genres too. These are just where I can add the most value.
I'm probably not the best fit for horror, broad fantasy worldbuilding, or young-children's animation (preschool/kids TV, think BLUEY or PAW PATROL). Happy to leave those to people who specialize there.
