in New York and Washington D.C.
Pyken was born in Brooklyn, New York, and raised in Los Angeles. He

both Political Science and Literature. After college, Pyken headed to
Washington, where he worked in the White House, then as a speechwriter

Date" and "Fox Hunt." When the latter was optioned as a TV series, Pyken
co-wrote the "Fox Hunt" pilot, finding himself in the TV biz, where he
then landed a staff writing gig on the Dick Wolf/John August

Pyken's other writing credits include the pilots "Skin" and "The
Fixer," and producing and writing stints on NBC's New York-based
