Grew up in a northern trailer park in Flint and ended up running one in the south outside of Nashville. Unschooled screenwriter and playwright writing sharp comedies with big feelings about identity, class, and breaking free of the past. Dynamic, messy characters who are lost and lonely or unlucky and disenfranchised in weird American corners that have their own gravity (dead malls, finished basements, trailer parks, Silicon Valley, Central Florida.)
