A number of his plays started at the Humana Festival of New American Plays at Actors Theatre of Louisville including Alone at the Beach, Below the Belt, Gun-Shy, Wonderful World and many short pieces.

He teaches at Rutgers University and Queens College and is vice president (and a founding member) of the Writers Guild Initiative, which does writing workshops with wounded warriors, veterans and caregivers among other groups.
