About

Be Cool. Make Cool.

As in, be a cool person who makes cool stuff. That’s the mantra by which I live my life. It’s also what’s allowed me to forge a successful career in advertising and creative writing.

During my years, I’ve created work for clients like Miller Lite, Disney, Procter & Gamble, Kraft, and more. I’m currently blowing my 8-year-old self’s mind by working for Hot Wheels.

In addition to branding work, I’ve sold a feature-length screenplay to Candleridge Entertainment, published short stories through Mulholland Books, and developed feature scripts with Universal and Paramount. I’m also a two-time semi-finalist in the Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting and have placed in the top 1% of the Warner Bros. Television Writers Workshop.

Outside of work, you can find me at home being emotionally manipulated by my toddler and getting in over over my head with various DIY home-improvement projects.

Here’s my LinkedIn page. Please drop by and say hello!
