  • About

I'm a Los Angeles-based writer, filmmaker, and producer with a background in television, digital media, and podcast production. I'm the co-founder of Rabbit Grin Productions, a production company focused on celebrity-driven podcasts. Collaborating with hosts such as Anna Faris, Seth Meyers, Katee Sackhoff, The Lonely Island, and Brie Larson, we craft engaging content that captivates and entertains a wide audience.

I also make short films through Maplight Filmworks. I've produced over a hundred short films throughout my career, with Maplight projects screening at film festivals both domestically and overseas, winning several awards along the way.

Before establishing Rabbit Grin, I built a diverse portfolio in media production. I was Head of Digital Production at the legendary comedy theater The Second City, where I produced nearly 400 videos, many of which earned millions of views. At WGN in Chicago, I produced and directed the late night comedy show Man of the People. I also wrote, directed, and produced the award-winning sketch comedy group Lady Parts, which created nearly 50 sketches to wide appeal.

Beyond film and television, I write fiction. My short story collection Lost Diaries Volume 1 is coming soon, and my novella Miracle on 35th Street is available now.

I grew up in central Illinois where I put on plays for my family, shot videos on my friend's Hi8 camcorder, and directed the video yearbook in high school. I was twice voted my school's official "Young Author" in the fourth and sixth grade respectively. After high school, I went to Columbia College Chicago and stayed in the city for fifteen years before moving out to Los Angeles where I live today.
