I am a writer, producer and performer who enjoys working with a variety of different media. I trained extensively in the theatre but became disillusioned, took some time off, and found a living in the catering business. My eight years in the food industry gave me the freedom to explore different creative avenues--writing, oral history, letterpress printing, documentary filmmaking and, most recently, audio storytelling. I've worked on short form documentaries for KCTS Television in Seattle, as well as for local non-profit groups. I've had a series of essays aired on KUOW 94.9fm in Seattle. One of my interests is in small gauge film preservation and as such, I spend my days working for a company that transfers home movies and amateur film to videotape. I am the regional coordinator for Home Movie Day and am part of the Moving Image Archives Project at the University of Washington. I am a member of the Association of Independents in Radio as well as the Association of Moving Image Archivists. "The Day My Mother's Head Exploded," is my first work for audio, and was completed in January 2003, with assistance from Jack Straw's Artist Support Program.
