a native Bostonian who has honed his craft in the backwoods of New England. He was born into a musical family but at an early age he decided he would study theatre. Once he even ran away with the circus as Performance Director for Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey 131st Edition. In 2007 he was awarded the Excellence in American Theatre award by the New England Theatre Council. Recently, he went back to his first love. Music. He started writing and playing music again a few years ago and hasn't stop since. In 2007 he wrote the music and lyrics for the new smash hit rock musical, Gay Bride of Frankenstein which had its first workshop production in Portsmouth, NH October 2008 and another in NYC a year later. He also plays piano for the band Tim McCoy and the Papercuts. Music is the best.

Gay Bride Of Frankenstein, The

Billy Butler
Virginal Chloe, her boyfriend Thad, brother Hairy, and ever-present best friend Edna are bummed when their high school Halloween dance is canceled. The kids instead make the long drive to the Monster Ball. But this ball is no ordinary soiree. It's an annual raising of the dead! a love triangle, a rock band and man's best friend. Never has there been a Halloween love story like this with mystery, magic and a cartoon caper that will scare you silly. Gay Bride of Frankenstein is ready to rock the doors of hell.
