If you're looking to draw in an audience with comedy or have your content really pop, look no further! I'm a trained comedy writer with over a decade of professional experience. I've written Funny Or Die originals, worked in house as a video writer at College Humor, The Disney Channel and Conde Nast, programmed content for a top YouTube channel (The Fine Brothers) and have written humor articles for The New Yorker and McSweeney's. I've also run a production company that focused on branded and commercial work. I consulted on the original Dollar Shave Club video that propelled the company from start-up to billion dollar valuation. As well as being Top-Rated, I have an Expert-Vetted badge -- awarded to the top 1% on the platform. I take my job seriously, work fast, and dedicate my full energy to making sure the best and funniest material is on the page.

AWARD WINNING FILMMAKER/SCREENWRITER SUNDANCE-PREMIERING ASSISTANT DIRECTOR "You can always make a good story better." I am truly passionate about storytelling. Filmmaking, writing, photography, or podcasting, I believe if you look hard enough, everyone has a story worth sharing. My experiences in the entertainment industry, professional art world, civil litigation, circus administration and Chinese acrobatics, coaching high school lacrosse, saving bees, and my relentless curiosity, have taught me how to craft a spellbinding story to capture an audience and leave them changed forever. As an experienced ghostwriter for feature-length films and television pilots, I am confident I know what the industry is looking for, and I have built a solid milestone process for bringing your successfully from idea to finished screenplay (and hopefully one day, the silver screen!) I'd love to hear more about your project, and hopefully there's a story we can tell together... I'm "mysterytin" everywhere. Don't hesitate to reach out (rather than here).
