I was the Chair of the SAT English Writing Committee for 10 years; Co-Chair of the AP Exam; and Chair of the College Board National English Advisory Committee. I have written scores of statements of purpose, personal statements, and a wide variety of essays for business and professional organizations.

I can bring to any writing project vast experience and expertise. Powerful writing involves audience analysis, designing a strategy, creating the appropriate voice, clarity, cogency, and precision. Additionally, powerful writing should move its audience, excite them, create vivid pictures and compelling ideas in their minds, and delight them.

I may be a top-rated plus Comedy Writer and copywriter with 15+ years of experience, but still, my greatest achievement was winning an argument with my wife one time. Hey. I'm Adrian. I write content that sells. Content that addresses pain points and converts. Content that will get your target audience to laugh. Because humor, when done right, connects and drives results. As a COMEDY WRITER (and recovering stand-up comedian), I'll write or punch up your material so that it's dangerously funny. Screenplays, animated series, episodic series, sketches, stand-up, roasts, video game scripts, comics, plays, and more. As a COPYWRITER, I write unique, pinpoint-accurate, and hilarious copy for B2B, B2C, SaaS, fintech, direct response copywriting, email marketing, commercials, corporate videos, VSLs, explainer videos, social media, websites, blogs, slogans, and more. As a SPEECHWRITER, I've written drop-dead funny content for TED talks, TEDx talks, keynotes, fundraisers, weddings, corporate, eulogies, sales summits, motivational, and more. I've even created funny content for CPA's, dental hygienists, and data analysts. (They say it couldn't be done.) Comedy Training: Upright Citizens Brigade, Peoples Improv Theater, NY Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club, NY Film Academy, Chicago City Limits, The Actor's Project NYC. My expertise is writing humor that sells. And I would love to work with you. You've read this far, so why not holler at me, shoot me a message, or invite me to your project? Let's do this.
