I Me Mine
I am a writer, filmmaker, and comedian originally from Philadelphia currently living in Los Angeles. I graduated Temple University in 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in Media Studies & Production with a Screen Studies certificate.
In college, I was the Executive Producer (as well as writer, director, editor, actor, stage crew) of a completely student-run sketch comedy show, “Temple Smash.”
In 2019, I wrote and performed in an hour-long music comedy show “UP THE DOWN.” The show had two runs at the Philly Improv Theater in downtown Philadelphia, and was featured in Philly Sketch Fest 2019.
My original pilot “ODDJOBBERS” received an 8 on The Blacklist.
In the summer of 2022, I wrote, directed, and edited a half-hour sitcom pilot “SOLANO CANYON” The pilot recently won BEST COMEDY and the BLUE DIAMOND AWARD at the Spotlight International Film Festival.
I am currently on the Pack Theater house sketch team “PAPERBACK,” on the indie sketch comedy team “DUCK DUCK DUCK,'“ and performing in and producing a monthly live music-comedy show “NOT PLUGGED IN”
