About Gerald

Played Basketball and fought in Martial Arts tournaments since I was a teenager. These are the sports that, past my prime, still obsess me. I'm a professional writer/songwriter by trade. Two diplomas and half a degree. Studied playwriting at the National Theatre School of Canada. Have had ten plays produced. A few songs cut. A few pieces of fiction and poetry published. Wrote music articles for an online website known as Indievoice.com. And had a screenplay that was developed in LA, and came this close to Warner Bros. doing it...sigh...

Don't ask me about anything sports related, unless it has to do with Basketball or MMA, because I will give you the confused Scooby Doo look and then walk away.
