His one-act plays THE SOUND WE MAKE and WHITEOUT were produced by Probably Forgettable Productions in November 2009. The Tacoma News Tribune said of the plays, ​

Two great new plays from a Tacoma writer, about Tacoma issues, staged in a Tacoma landmark with great originality – 
this is a show that deserves a full house, every night.

He is a recipient of the Camano Island Residency and a Grant for Artist Projects (GAP) from Artist Trust, a TAIP grant from the Tacoma Arts Commission, and a Hugo Writers Award from Richard Hugo House.
