I grew up on the 40-acre woods right next to Whinnie-the-Pooh and an actual Black bear family. I'm a writer, director, performer focused on narratives that explore freedom, especially when the drama is between one's own voice and societal pressures. I've spent roughly 20 years in leadership positions, including serving 7 years in the U.S. Air Force as a Farsi/Dari linguist, so I know how to form a team and deliver. As a dedicated father and husband, everything I do or create, is meant not only for my son, but for anyone needing to find a connection or shared truth in our bizarre existence.
