I began my career when I was eleven years old (under protest) on the blackboard of Miss Peterson's sixth grade class. Out in the real world, I wrote television commercials, which lead to my meeting a TV star who gave me a shot at writing TV sitcoms. Luckily, I ended up writing for two of the highest rated TV series in the history of CBS. In 2002, I co-created the animated preschool TV series, "ToddWorld," EMMY nominated three times for "Outstanding Animated Children's Program." My two picture books in the "Nathan" Series ("Nathan Saves Summer" and "Nathan and the Really Big Bully") have won "Mom's Choice" Gold Awards. My "Brave Rooney" series is now on the Kindle with the second title, "Brave Rooney and the Super-Sized Superheroes" also winning a "Mom's Choice" Gold Award along with a CEBA award and a medallion from indieBrag.
