Hello! You're making a thing - creating an ad campaign, or delivering a speech, or writing a book. And you want it to be funny. People love a funny thing! But it turns out making things funny is actually kind of hard. Oh no! What now? Don't worry. Through my own misspent youth becoming a comedian, I am now in the specialized position of being able to help you make funny things.
I'm a comedian and comedy writer with over a decade of professional experience. I've been featured on television and across North America as a stand up opening for some of the biggest names in comedy like Dave Chappelle, Todd Barry, Janeane Garofalo, and countless others.
I've done comprehensive comedy writing from TV pilots, to pitch decks, and writing jokes as a staff writer for top stand-up acts. I've used my expertise to craft hilarious content for agencies, businesses, private and corporate clients. Creating ad copy, marketing material, SEO optimized landing pages and web content, blog and social media content, product descriptions- you name it, people out there are trying to make it funny, and I'm the person to make it happen.
Thanks for reading! Let's make something funny!

My Job Success Score sits at 67% not because of missed deadlines or sloppy work, but because one client decided halfway through that they no longer needed the work at all. A single cancelled contract can bruise a new profile, yet it says little about the craft behind my keyboard. I bring years of experience, a genuine love for the English language, and a skill set that covers everything from content strategy to proofreading and editing. I write blogs and articles, craft resumes, polish letters, research papers, and shape brand stories that stick. Feel free to take a look at my portfolio to see some of my recent work.
Many businesses invest in their online presence but still struggle to connect with their audience. That’s usually because their content doesn’t really speak to real people—it just fills a page. When your message doesn’t sound like you, or doesn’t speak directly to your readers’ needs, they scroll away. My job is to stop that from happening.
Just a few weeks ago, a small business owner came to me overwhelmed by all things digital. Their website traffic had stalled and nothing seemed to land with their audience. I took the time to read, listen, and rework their content to sound less like a pitch and more like a conversation. Within days, their engagement picked up. Inquiries started coming in. By the end of the month, they’d doubled their client base. That’s the kind of magic I strive to create for all my clients.
I know that every business is unique, and that's why I bring a versatile skill set to the table. Here’s How I Can Help You Win
