More Than a Game This baseball essay aired in 1999 on Maine Public Radio, and won the “AP Award for Writing in Broadcast Journalism” that year.

“Mansion on the Hill” This one act drama about two homeless people, written in 2007, was adapted into a short film and shown nationally at film festivals.

“The Maine Dish” This sitcom pilot was written in 2004. I entered it into a competition at the Bravo Cable TV Network. They received over 10,000 submissions. “The Maine Dish” ultimately made its way to the top 10 finalists! As a result, I appeared on their TV series, “Situation: Comedy” in 2005.  If you’re from Maine (and even if you’re not) this TV pilot will have you in stitches. It was pitched as “Cheers meets Northern Exposure.”

Heading for Home” This is the screenplay that originally brought me to Hollywood. It’s a stirring drama about horse racing, family ties, courage, overcoming adversity and ultimately… redemption. It was pitched as “Million Dollar Baby meets Seabiscuit.” The screenplay was optioned twice. Keep the kleenex handy.

“The Ricky James Story” This article, written on spec for ESPN: The Magazine, is about the most courageous teenager I ever met. You’ll stand up and cheer!

Magazine Article This feature article is about the nostalgic, downtown movie theaters that dot the Mid-Coast and Downeast Maine. It appeared in the April, 2011 issue of Bangor Metro magazine.

Magazine Article This article about “Xeriscape” (growing lush gardens in arid climates) appeared in the 2009 spring issue of At Home in Palm Beach County magazine.

Magazine Article This feature article is about three popular Maine bands. It appeared in the March, 2011 issue of Bangor Metro magazine.
