With 25 years of professional creative experience, I have penned everything from a traveling French fry vendor’s personality profile to promotional materials for some of the world’s biggest pharmaceutical brands. Fueling that creativity is my love for comedy, a skill I have honed for two decades, including stints in Chicago and LA performing stand-up, improv, and sketch—making literally tens and tens of dollars along the way. Named one of “30 Under 30 to Watch” by Indiana Alumni magazine when I was under 30, I earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in journalism from Indiana University Bloomington and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, respectively.
