Telling stories about ordinary scientists and technologists who wrestle with extraordinary choices and great moral dilemmas.
I'm a science and technology geek who loves telling stories.
Drawing upon my background in science and technology, my passion is to create memorable stories with characters who are scientists, doctors, or technologists and who face high stakes and great moral dilemmas.
With years of experience in Silicon Valley (Apple, internet start-ups), entertainment (MGM Studios, interactive, music), and nonprofit causes, I have channeled this into writing and producing Sci-Fi stories set in the middle of some of humankind's greatest achievements and existential risks.
