I am a 50-year-old, Jewish man of transgender experience. I transitioned my gender 20 years ago, during a time when doing so was not so commonplace. My experience of living 30 years as a woman and 20 years as a man allows me to see the world from unique vantage point. I am also a Doctor of Psychology and Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My day job consists of working for the Ramsdy County Detention Center and teaching psychology at Metropolitan State University.   

I am part of the generation of first wave children who grew up on television. Some of my earliest television influences include: My So Called Life and 30 Something – television shows that truly changed the face of television.

Today, I am intrigued by the creative risks and liberties television shows like Euphoria, Little Fires Everywhere, and "Stranger Things, are taking. I am also passionate about film, in particular those put out by streaming channels like, Bird Box and Marriage Story.   

My fist ever pilot Fang was a finalist in the Southern California Scriptwriting Contest, a runner up in the Burning Love Scriptwriting Contest and has received positive feedback from CoverflyX peer notes and The Red List.

I founded and continue to run, Gender Reel, a transgender film festival, having won five art grants for my work with the festival. Additionally, I was awarded three grants for my work as a transgender activist and educator. I also wrote, directed and produced the 2014 documentary, Growing Old Gracefully: The Transgender Experience. This film explored the issue of aging in the transgender community.
