My work has always been at the contested edge - the places where people are not sure they want to be. Where I must decide, do I stop or do I break through? I write, direct and produce queer narratives in uncharted genres like horror, science fiction, fantasy, and sports.
At 17, I got my big break as a PA on a straight-to-video action flick starring Mickey Rourke. From there, I cut my teeth assisting on popular Emmy award-winning shows like American Idol, The Amazing Race, and with the original fab five on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Development is where I thrive, and in the fall of 2004, I became an integral part of the Q-Television Network, the world's first LGBTQ+ cable network. I produced On-Q-Live, an internationally syndicated variety show that featured breaking news, queer-focused entertainment, and sports. We made social, political, and broadcast history. I think that's rad.
