I took a playwriting class in college (Drew University), taught by Buzz McLaughlin, whose book The Playwright's Process introduced me to many of the tools and strategies I still use today. But it wasn't until 2006—when I moved to Los Angeles and, to avoid the 405, spent countless post-work hours in libraries—that I committed to learning the craft.

In less than a year I wrote nearly thirty 10-minute plays and two full-lengths. Since then, productivity has slowed considerably, but I think quality has improved. In 2008 (now back in Baltimore), I joined the Dramatists Guild, and my understanding of what it means to be a professional playwright also improved. (Hint: It has little to do with money.)
