ABOUT Me!
Like Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise before me, I (a non-Tom) starred as George Gibbs in a high school production of Our Town. College happened. Then, I trained through Second City and UCB and subsequently performed suboptimal improv throughout numerous fire code violation-themed theaters in NYC. I wrote, cast, produced, and starred in a sold-out sketch comedy show in New York City, Casual Ambiguity. I also mistakenly graduated from the University of Chicago Law School. Afterward, I wrote and filmed a nearly award-winning comedy-horror short film, Hold The Mayo ("nearly" as in it screened near award-winning films). Apparently, not wanting to travel far to act, I created a 38-episode web series, There Are No Second Takes In Life…Take 2, with each episode filmed on location…in my apartment. I also wrote, directed, and produced, The Powerpuff Girls: The Teen Years.
My works have screened at such places as the L.A. Comedy Festival, L.A. Webfest, ATL Webfest, East Lansing Film Festival, New Haven International Film Festival, and Hamilton Film Festival.
I'm a co-founder of I'm Okay Productions. In the Fall of 2024, I will be directing my first feature film, Muffled.
