I'm an Emmy-nominated comedy commercial director based in Los Angeles, with an eye for performance and a love of character based stories.

I cut my teeth in Comedy Central's digital department while writing and directing my own projects on the side. My series Squaresville broke out (Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, Variety), and I waved goodbye to the cubicle. After an Emmy nomination for my work on Key & Peele, I became a regular at CollegeHumor (now Dropout) and Lorne Michaels' Above Average, helping build the celebrity-driven comedy commercial campaigns they became known for. The projects kept getting bigger, and I fell in love with commercials.

For the last decade I've balanced showrunning and directing comedy commercials for Facebook, Verizon, Viacom, Amazon, and national campaigns for Fortune 500 brands across tech, sports, entertainment, food, and spirits. Dialogue-driven comedy is where I live, which turns out to be a rarer skill among comedy directors than you'd expect.

I’ve directed tons of A-listers, and between Barack Obama and Ellen Degeneres, I think I can handle anyone. Also on the list: Steph Curry, James Corden, Will Arnett, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Allison Williams, Lamorne Morris, Retta, and Jonathan Bennett.

Being LA-based means working with a celebrity is a phone call, not a plane ticket. I'm the director you want when the script “is still raw clay” and the creative needs a collaborative co-conspirator.

I host Just Shoot It, arguably one of the most listened-to directing podcasts (I’ve been advised to use the word "arguably" in all descriptors), and I teach commercial acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre & Film Institute to actors who, if I’ve done my job right, will become far more famous than me.
