A recent graduate of the USC School of Cinematic Arts with a degree in Film and Television Production.I am a comedic screenwriter and director who from an early age decided that life was much too silly to take seriously. Growing up in a tiny town in Upstate New York with a very funny badass mother who drilled into me at a young age that instead of feeling upset it was always better to laugh at yourself. As an adult, I have brought this mentality into my film work focusing on dumb, borderline stupid ideas with stupider characters in an attempt to navigate this very strange experiment of life.I have interned for Viacom, BET, and Doomsday Entertainment focusing on television development and music video production. As far as my own film work, I have written and directed several short films at USC, with my junior thesis ‘Swipe Fight’ being selected for the Portland Comedy and New York Newfilmmakers Festivals. Currently, in my final semester at school, I am a writer/producer on this year's Straight to Series Show Influence, where we have worked for the past year on breaking stories and creating an episodic show from the ground up.
