Where are you from and what inspired you to become a television writer?
I grew up in small town in New Jersey, not near the turnpike. TWIN PEAKS inspired me. It was a seminal show in my upbringing in suburbia. It brought danger, intrigue and a lost innocence into my small realm of thinking. It made me realize how profound television could actually be; it was no longer a “boob tube” as my father called it, and it was a way to experience art. My path started with that show.
