Experience

I successfully applied to and was accepted into the two top undergraduate film programs in the country, NYU and USC, and I'd love to help your son or daughter with their film school application portfolio project, whether it's an essay, short story, script, short film or photography project. I'm currently a screenwriter living in Los Angeles represented by Creative Artists Agency. I've developed projects with Dreamworks Animation, Full Fathom Five Productions (James Frey), Green Mountain West Productions (Craig Ferguson) and Broken Road Productions. I write for both feature and television, and I've worked on two television shows while in LA -- BREAKING IN on Fox and WILFRED on FX.

Hobbies

I'm a huge comedy fan and when I'm not writing comedy scripts I also have a humor column on YourTango.com and a weird self-help column on my LinkedIn page. I love going to see stand-up and sketch comedy in and around Los Angeles, but I'm also an avid runner and can be frequently found exploring the trails on the outskirts of the city!
