About
Comedies about staying positive when everything goes wrong.
I'm a screenwriter from Tampa, Florida, which means alligator warnings in the parking lot, mosquitos the size of small birds, and a deep, lifelong love of stories about found family and the people who keep showing up for each other.
I write half-hour comedy and dramedy about what happens when everything goes wrong and you stay positive anyway: psych ward roommates, sorority misunderstandings, private school drug searches, the friend you absolutely should not be living with. I think you have to find the humor in everything. Otherwise, what's the point?
Influences: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Community, 30 Rock, Seinfeld, and What We Do in the Shadows.
