I am the former owner of a theater whose comedy career was ended in 2017. I was falsely accused by a stalker who was encouraged and used by a business competitor.

I had a short-lived consensual relationship with a woman who harassed and stalked me years later.

Owners of another theater latched onto her story. They lionized her as a hero, using her willingness to be a victim to destroy me and take down the competition. I had no chance to defend myself. I lost my theater, my sense of self, and I nearly lost my life. I published my account of what happened on March 10, 2020.

I was invited to share my story on September 7, 2020.
