Highlights (pardon the expression): Graduated Wesleyan University 1971. Musician in New York City 1971-1986. High point - co-author and cast member of Tony nominated musical Pump Boys and Dinettes - which is where I fell in love with stage manager Maureen Donley. Moved to LA together. Worked as a Hollywood studio executive (Warner Bros., Michael Douglas' Furthur Films, Ascendant Pictures). Currently senior producer of narrative content and head of global video production at Cloud Imperium Games, and professor of screenwriting at UC Riverside's Low Residency MFA Program in Creative Writing and Writing for the Performing Arts. One kid at Chapman Film School, one at the UC Berkeley School of Design, and one a sophomore at the Brentwood School.

Craig lived across the street from me on Trenton Drive and we were inseperable until high school when for some reason we stopped seeing one another. He was a wonderful guy.
