Good at words.
Very stable genius.
Oh, hello! Welcome to my portfolio. Make yourself at home. Take off your shoes, put your feet up. Actually, maybe keep your shoes on. I just Febreze’d.
I’m an award-winning comedy writer, musician, and graduate of the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts with a BFA in Writing for Film & Television.
Currently moonlighting (daylighting?) as a freelance copywriter / content editor and custom music creator, specializing in elevating brands, ideas, and befuddled marketing departments with sharp, engaging copy and catchy tunes.
Member of SAG-AFTRA.
Who am I? What is this?
With a background that spans marketing, storytelling, and musical composition, I’m a one-man production studio with a (Liam Neeson growl:) very particular set of skills that help businesses find their voice. Whether you need a tagline with teeth, a custom jingle that gets stuck in your head for all the right reasons, or even a power ballad for your dog’s birthday, I’m your guy.
When not pecking away on my laptop, I can be found chatting with the gecko in national spots for GEICO, making short films, writing and producing an annual live Christmas spectacular, touring the country with renowned political sketch group Capitol Comedy, teaching music to aspiring musicians, and composing songs for raunchy musicals.
You’re probably saying to yourself, ‘This guy is like the menu at Cheesecake Factory, he’s doing too many different things and he can’t possibly be doing all of it well’. I get it. People who describe themselves as “multi-hypenates” are often (to borrow a phrase) totally nutso in the buttso. But I believe my track record of excellent results and happy clients speaks for itself.
Let’s make something your audience won’t forget.
Or, to use the parlance of the much-coveted youth demo: Let’s do something that eats. And leave no crumbs. Slay?
