About

BIO

I grew up outside Boston and became a radio DJ while still in high school. In college I studied computer science and began doing stand-up comedy. After graduating, I worked as an engineer at Microsoft in Seattle while doing stand-up comedy at night before eventually leaving to tour full time. Eventually, I performed professionally in 17 countries before settling in Los Angeles, where I appeared on Comedy Central’s Roast Battle, wrote for television, and began shooting viral comedy videos. I also ran live political comedy shows, which were eventually picked up by YouTube channel We the Internet TV. There I handled both production and digital strategy, growing the channel over 5x in 18 months. I then moved on to Freethink Media, where I led the organic social team for several years and appeared on the Hard Reset Podcast. I also became increasingly involved with housing reform efforts through creating content, writing articles, and co-founding Westside for Everyone, a grassroots advocacy group committed to making West LA a place where everyone can live, work and grow.

Today I produce content independently for a variety of clients as well as under my own accounts. I live in Los Angeles, California with my wife and kids.
