About
Daniel (he/they) is a neurodivergent writer/actor/ginger currently based out of Northern Ohio.
He has a special fondness for absurdism, folklore, and horror, but ultimately loves plays about honest people (or talking animals) in situations he hasn't seen before. When not gleefully giving their soul to artistic endeavors and projects, they legitimately enjoy long walks on the beach, video games with local co-op, and biscuits.
Most recently, he has been seen as a company member (portraying Sir Francis Drake) of Sterling Renaissance Festival’s Wyldewood Players. His full-length plays include altitude, Bereavement Leave, and Pit, a part of the ’24-25 season of the Inkwell Theater’s Development LAB. Their cosmic horror, In the Slush, was a Finalist for the 2023 Princess Grace Award and is published with Ghost Light Publications. Their scary story one-act, You See Them in the Corners of Your Eyes, has been produced at colleges and schools throughout the US.
Daniel is an alumnus of the University of Virginia and a proud member of the Dramatists Guild.
