I don't cook - I can cook - but I'm not very good. I like being asked over for dinner, because she can't cook either. We would starve if it weren't for modern technology. I know how to work a microwave, but love home cooked meals.

Personally Im very happy to be behind the scenes. I like collaboration, I like working with directors.

The stories I write are often literal to events that have happened or observations that I've made, and sometimes they're fantastical.
