At twenty he directed his first play and at twenty-​three he wrote and directed All I Want, which ran for over two years at the Victory Gardens Theater in Chicago winning Jeff Awards for Best Play and Best Director.

He has since directed plays in Chicago, Los Angeles and NYC.

He has worked and coached actors such as Dennis Franz, Bobby Pastorelli, Joe Mantegna and Diane Ladd, Sharon Lawrence and Cassidy Freeman.
