About me

Hey. I’m a weirdo and an entertainer, and I’m one of those new-wave creative multi-hyphenate types.

You’ll see me performing comedy on stages and in front of cameras.

You’ll hear me try to convince my roommate that all the yelling and grunting I do in the closet is voice acting.

Sometimes also, super serious regular acting. (Big closet.)

My favorite might be improvising. Discovering stuff is the best.

Or I’m making music, on either the drums, guitar, piano, harmonica, djembe, drum machine, cello, my own vocal chords, Ableton Live, or a looper. Sometimes all of them (but not at the same time just to clarify).

Oftentimes, though, I’m writing instead. (#Literacy) Sometimes it’s a sketch, others a screenplay, or else an article, short story, song, or good ol’ ad copy. Ever faithful, ad copy.

And if there’s time left in the day, it’s video production, which involves outlining, direction, filming, sound capture, and etiding editing.

How I wrap this up in a neat and tiny bow is that I create content. (Wow, throw a stone, am I right?)
