I have Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a type of Muscular Dystrophy. It’s similar to ALS in symptoms but not progression.
I've been working in clinical research at the University of Pennsylvania for over 20 years now! Before that, I worked as the guide to Computer Simulation Games for About.com. I also used to volunteer as a research coordinator at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
I currently run a Dungeons & Dragons 5e campaign for two of my childhood friends. I'm also playing a Vampire: The Masquerade Elders campaign on Roll20.
I have loved the zombie genre since my older sister made me watch George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead when I was a teenager. As an adult, The Walking Dead rekindled that interest in the world of zombies.
I love coffee but not coffee shops. I have an entire cabinet dedicated to Keurig k-cups, not because I can drink it all, but I like to have a wide variety of flavors for friends and family. It’s like how people stock bars with all kinds of liquor. We also have a well-stocked bar but barely drink.
Favorite author: Stephen King. Favorite filmmaker: Quentin Tarantino. Favorite TV show: Highlander (which led to a special achievement in my game, A Wise Use of Time)
I produced a documentary with Reel9Productions called The Way to Kevin which was screened during QFest in Philadelphia in 2013 at Ritz East Theater. Having a film I helped make shown at an actual movie theater fulfilled one of my life’s dreams.
After reading Choose Your Own Adventure books as a kid, I always wanted to write interactive fiction. When I read Choice of the Vampire and learned that Hosted Games will publish games built-in Choicescript, I immediately began writing Zombie Exodus.
I am currently working on my new interactive game Zombie Exodus: Stronghold, available now on StoryLoom. New Chapters coming out regularly!
