I’ve written several curriculum guides for the Alexandria Learning Ecosystem for Educators (ALEE). These novel guides are teacher-facing resources that assist teachers with creating less and unit plans for classic and contemporary novels. All of these are intensive projects with tight deadlines, including writing chapter summaries, pulling vocabulary words, and creating and reviewing engagements for selected quotations.

I’m currently a script writer and managing editor for a pair of YouTube channels, Ohara and Tanuki Tales, specializing in anime and manga content. I also write in the music, gaming, and education niches.
When I’m not working, you can find me acting, performing original music, or plugging away at my novel at a neighborhood coffee shop.

A couple years ago, comedian Lucas Waterfill approached to me with a problem. He had some fantastic ideas that didn’t translate to stand-up, but would make a great play. That was the beginning of a wonderful collaboration that resulted in Up All the Nights, an original play that was one of the top performing shows at the 2025 IndyFringe Festival.
