Director | Producer | Screenwriter | Script Consultant | Actor

Biography

After growing up in Pittsburgh as the queer band nerd in a huge, blue-collar, sports-rabid family, he launched his first career as a professional classical musician and conductor. Then, after an extraordinary near-death experience, he returned to his true passion of writing. He’s known for a mature, unique voice whose stories dive into the uncomfortable truths of complex characters and families - blood and chosen - with panache, empathy and humor.

When not writing, he enjoys baking, traveling, and cheering on the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team (proof of his limitless optimism).

A graduate of Carnegie Mellon’s School of Drama, Ripley is repped by Bob Sobhani at Magnet Management. He lives in Los Angeles with his amazing husband and their rescued pooches.
