About Me

I've been a TV PRODUCER/WRITER for the last twenty-five years, primarily specializing in ANIMATION. I've had a long career working for Hanna-Barbera, Disney, DIC, Warner Brothers Animation, and many others. TV shows I've worked on include SCOOBY DOO, JETSONS, PINK PANTHER, SUPERFRIENDS and STATIC SHOCK.I was the head-writer for the animated FRAGGLE ROCK for NBC and JIM HENSON. On PBS, for very young kids, I developed, produced and wrote JAY JAY THE JET PLANE for Porchlight Entertainment. I was also a head-writer/story-editor for another PBS series, PUZZLE PLACE.Perhaps my biggest claim to fame was being the Producer and Head Writer for "SPIDER-MAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES" on FOX KIDS TV about a decade ago, which many still consider the best Spider-Man adaptation for TV ever. I'm proud to say that those 65 episodes have never stopped airing and are also constantly available on DVD.In the world of Anime, I wrote the English language dialogue scripts for Hayao Miyazaki's classics "LAPUTA: CASTLE IN THE SKY" AND "KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE".In live-action, I wrote the Warner Bros. feature comedy "CLASS ACT" featuring the rap duo Kid 'N Play, back in the early days of hip-hop. I recently did a draft of an animated feature called BLOCKHEDZ, based on the comic of the same name.These are just a smattering of my credits. And the real kick of it all is, I'm still working!My latest creation is "THE CRYPT OF CREEPORIA", a video series made exclusively for the Internet. The first episode can be viewed right here on my web page. All of the episodes, in even higher resolution versions (highly recommended) can be seen on Creeporia's own web page at WWW.CREEPORIA.COM.Thanks for dropping by and paying me a visit here on Myspace!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I've been fortunate to have met and worked with most of my childhood pop-culture heroes. I've worked closely with STAN "THE MAN" LEE, GEORGE LUCAS, JIM HENSON, FRIZ FRELENG, and WALTER LANTZ. I've met many great creative legends like directors Orson Welles, Peter Bogdanovich, photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, Janis Joplin, filmmaker Francois Truffaut, Muhammed Ali, Bob Clampett, Chuck Jones and many others.The names of famous actors I've met is too long to list.I'm always excited to meet new, creative people with incredible minds.
