I am a theater director, writer, and educator based in Cincinnati, Ohio.

My plays have been commissioned and produced by Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park Off-the-Grid and Know Theatre of Cincinnati. I've developed work with New York Stage and Film, The Recovery Project, and Steep Theater Chicago.

I've directed plays and musicals in Cincinnati, Chicago, New York, and London.

I am associate professor and chair of the acting program at CCM. I work with undergraduate and graduate students across the University of Cincinnati.

In addition to my work at UC, I've taught at Kenyon College, Northwestern University, and Drama Studio London / University of West London. In 2019, I was Professeur Invité at Université Bourdeaux-Montaigne.

I am the Drama Editor for the Cincinnati Review and the Founding Artistic Director of the CCM Playwrights Workshop.

I am a member of SDC, the Lincoln Center Directors' Lab, and AAUP. I am a big fan of all three. I have a BA from Kenyon College (political science major) and an MFA in stage directing from Northwestern University.
