I am a multi-award winning screenwriter/director living in Los Angeles, CA. I am a sketch writer and producer for LA-based team Tantrum, who have a monthly hour-long show at The Pack Theater. My writing has also been featured at Austin Sketchfest, The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, Second City, and various comedy and theater festivals nationwide.

My play, The Wheel of Invention, was the recipient of the Lumpy-Cramp© Spirit of the Fringe, Never in the Box Award and an ENCORE! Producer’s Award at the 2016 Hollywood Fringe Festival. Wheel was also awarded runner up for Best Musical at the 2015 Los Angeles Theater Festival, which is impressive considering it isn’t technically a musical.

My animated pilot, Whale of a Time, follows the animated adventures of a repressed homosexual whale and the Nazi scientist that lives in his tum-tum who travel through time ruining history. Whale was a finalist in the 2016 Tracking Board Launch Pad Pilot Contest as well as a semi-finalist in the 2017 Second City Training Center Pilot Contest. I am also the co-creator and director of the Channel 101 NY-winning webseries My Racist Toaster, which is exactly what it sounds like.

Alongside my scriptwriting work, I am also an accomplished musician and songwriter. I am musical director/bandleader for The Happy Sappy Grown-Up Hour, a monthly “kids show for adults” at The Pack Theater. I have also written theme songs and original songs for many podcasts and live shows, including Jakked Comedy Wrestling, Sketch That Tune, and It Stinks: The Critic Podcast, as well as innumerable silly jingles for comedy sketches. In my non-comedy musical time I’m lead guitarist for the LA-based indie rock band Inkblot.

Aside from my film and stage work, I am also a podcast producer. I am the co-host/producer of I Think You’d Be Into It, “the podcast about your faves,” a production of my production company AwesomeTech Industries. I was a producer for the first two years of the Everything’s Coming Up Simpsons podcast, and have written and edited shows for Feral Audio, Blue Rock Public Radio, The Prep School Hippie, and several others.

I want to work with you on writing scripts or songs for your cartoon, sitcom or live show. Samples of my work, as well as my original pilots, can be found under the writing tab, above. If you are interested in my projects or would like to inquire about hiring me freelance for any of my specialties, please visit my contact page for info.

I am also more than happy to just talk with you about the band Phish.
