“I have spent many years in the theater, as both actor and author. As there are many parallels between the dramatic world of theater and the imagination-rich world of young adult books, it was easy to make the bridge to children’s writing. My first exposure to theater was out of high school, where I had a speech and theatre scholarship at the University of Maryland in Baltimore County.

At the age of 19, I auditioned for my first professional show in Toronto, a musical called “The Me Nobody Knows.” After it closed a year later, I went to Europe and joined the cast of the French production of another musical, “Double V.” A few months later I found myself in the Danish production of “Hair.” I did “Hair” in several countries around the world, often in foreign languages. Three years later it was time for a change, so I left the Tasmanian production of “Hair” and headed to London, where I was entreated to start an R&B group by John Worth, a noted producer. Thus, the Majestics were born. Four years and several world tours later, it was back to Canada for a series of TV shows, singing and playing my guitar. Eventually I returned home to America’s West Coast, where I had an unfortunate accident. Unable to play the guitar, I turned to writing. Thus Pendragon: The Saga of Peter the Woodsman began. Soon my hand was better and I began to write musicals. “The Gramophone Rag” was performed at Laney College in Oakland, California, later moving to San Francisco’s On Broadway Theatre.

I currently live in Northern California with my lovely family.
