In 2002 David Simon asked me to write one episode for The Wire, a dramatic series that he had recently sold to HBO. Little did I know that I would become involved as a full time writer, story editor and producer over the course of five seasons and the next six years. So much has been written about The Wire that it would be redundant to duplicate it here. Simply put, I'm proud of what we accomplished, thankful for the opportunity to have been a part of it, and honored to have worked with all of our talented writers, producers, directors, actors, and the hardest working crew in the business, straight out of Baltimore, Maryland. Hands down, this was the best experience of my career.

I and a thousand others--that's correct--worked on this project for several years. Read more about my work on this project on my blog post here.

Treme is about people and an American city. We deal with the rebuilding of lives in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. It is not a cop show, lawyer show, or hospital show, and as such will be unfamiliar terrain for many viewers. But I hope folks will give us a try. It is not downbeat in the least. The performances are top notch, and the music is incredible. For those keeping track, I wrote episodes #4 and #9 of Season 1.
