Graduate of Columbia College Chicago with a degree in Television Production. Extensive comedic background both in front of and behind the cameras and stage. Trained with Second City, Improv Olympic, Groundlings, etc. Directed a two-person show at Improv Olympic in LA, and recently wrapped a Chicago-based sitcom pilot, which I wrote and played one of the leads. First dipped into directing at age 11, on the unbelievably high-budget production directing my brother in a music video, where he lip-synced along to Will Smith's songs in front of our Christmas tree. I decided to leave that one off my resume, but a few highlights include:
*Medium Rare (pilot) writer/exec. producer, actor
*Gamers (pilot) producer, actor
*The Swing (Comicon short film) producer
