I'm proud to announce that my epically silly epic fantasy novel, Fish Wielder, was just named one of the Best 5 Indie Science Fiction and Fantasy Novels of 2017 by Kirkus Reviews! And it won the TCK Readers' Choice Award for Best Fantasy Novel of 2017!

In addition, my new ridiculously horrific ridiculous horror novel, Demon Freaks, is in bookstores now!

I'm a writer and the creative director for Character LLC, a Portland-Oregon-based company that does story-analysis for brands and entertainment properties. I've worked as a writer, animator and director in commercials and entertainment since graduating from Columbia College of Chicago in 1988. I started my professional career by producing a low-budget direct-to-video feature, "The Creature From Lake Michigan". Making a bad film can be a crash course in the essential elements of good character and story, and "The Creature From Lake Michigan" was a tremendously bad film. I learned from that debacle, and after a brief stint recuperating as a freelance writer and film editor, I founded my own production company. During its seven-year run, I wrote, directed and edited live-action and animation productions, including educational films, television commercials and television pilots. Shifting my focus entirely to animation, I joined Will Vinton Studios in 1997. There I directed animated commercial and entertainment projects, including spots for M&M's, AT&T, Cingular Wireless and Kellogg's as well as episodic television. While working at Vinton, I also co-wrote the television special "Popeye's Voyage: The Quest for Pappy" with actor Paul Reiser.

I co-founded Character LLC in 2000. While working at Character I've given story advice to many of the world's largest brands including Amazon, Discovery Networks, Target, Microsoft, Verizon, Samsung, McDonalds and Walmart. I've even appeared on NBC's "The Apprentice" as an expert advisor on brand characters. I did character development work and have written for the PBS children's television series "SeeMore's Playhouse" and I authored the "The Helm," a graphic novel for Dark Horse comics that was named one of 2010's top ten Great Graphic Novels for Teens by YALSA, a branch of the American Library Association.

So...that's me.
