I’ve been producing new media content since 2005 when my sketch group ‘Team Tiger Awesome’ started making digital sketches like 12 hours before Youtube would suddenly become a thing. While we didn’t stay on Youtube (probably a mistake in retrospect) we ended up generating almost 110 pieces of short form video content including pieces for partners like ABC, FOXreality, Comedy Central, Cracked.Com, the original SuperDeluxe and Axe Bodywash among others.

While still making sketches I began working for BermanBraun (later to become Whalerock Industries) and helped launch their food and movie Youtube channels, Tasted and Cinefix respectively. Here I created ‘Why Would You Eat That?’ and its multiple spin offs including more comedy focused food shows and the travelogue, ‘Why Would You Eat There?’ as part of a collaboration with ZAGAT. On the Cinefix side I created ‘Art of the Scene’, helmed ‘Film School’d’ in it’s later days and helped create more community focused content like ‘What to Watch Before You Die,’ ‘Like It//Love it,’ and the Cinefix Roundtables.

From here, I briefly went to work on an SFX focused Youtube channel before they lost their funding and then shortly after found myself working at Mashable.

Mashable brought me in to handle some of their more high profile collaborations. These included two larger budget series for Facebook Watch (‘Alternative Maps’ and ‘Record BreakHERS’) 60 second branded interstitials for Crackle, and a three show collaboration with National Geographic Wild utilizing their video archives.

After wrapping these up, The Keli Network (now Jellysmack) hired me to do some outside ideation and piloting before bringing me in to help them establish a Los Angeles head quarters. While there I produced a lot of content for their beauty channel (Beauty Wow) including ‘Human Canvas’ which would go on to be purchased by Snapchat, as well as some additional infotainment pieces for their channel Genius Club.

Then in late 2018, I got an offer to produce a film that I had previously done script modifications on and so in January 2019 during the rainiest winter in recent memory we spent ten days outside filming, battling rain and ultimately changing our ending when we got rained out. The other days on our schedule were all inside. Inside days are good days. Not as good as crisp cool dry outside days… but almost as nice and definitely way better than standing in the rain trying to figure out how to get a jeep unstuck from the mud while extras with machine guns stand around you. But then anything worth doing is going to have a story about how hard it was to do it.

When I’m not producing I’m typically working on my fake Florida call-in show NightDrive with some of the funniest people I know, slowly trying to learn how to code/3d print or I’m spending time cooking and baking. Here’s a fig tart I made that I’m legit pretty proud of.
