I was not moving to Sesame Street. This was hugely disappointing, but also hugely motivating. Once I graduated to a Grown-Up Working Person, I devoted myself to making imaginative, enriching content for the next generation of muppet wannabes. For the past twenty years, I have developed award-winning product lines for Leapfrog, Disney, YouTube Kids, Discovery Kids, Lingokids, Todo English and many others. 

As a creative and editorial director, I lead teams much like I once led my Kindergarten classroom. No one is bored out of their gourd, because we prioritize play. I am 109% sure that a supportive, playful environment and clear goals allow creative people to deliver their best work.

As a writer, I am serious about storytelling. And I’ve told A LOT of stories: 300 print and ebooks, 10 full-length video scripts, 60 interactive toy and game scripts, plus parent guides, workshop materials and character bibles. When it comes to educational content, I root out the fun in every part of the learning process. Even math (sorry, Math). 

Off the clock, you can find me rollerblading in Golden Gate Park, twirling through dance class or composing indie music on the glockenspiel. All true, except one.
