Director/Writer

 

 

Unlocking each individual or company’s unique obstacle requires a varied technical, emotional, structural or abstract toolbox.

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Over the last thirty years I have juggled several industry careers.

 

If this is your first time finding me, here are just a few quick highlights

in an attempt to provide the full scope of creative work:

 

  • One of the only caucasian comedy acts to tour with James Brown
  • Created the CJ and Peanut show on MTV
  • Writing for Bill Maher, Comedy Central Roasts, WB, Don Bluth Studios
  • Creating/directing acts from America’s Got Talent and Tony award-winners like Billy Porter
  • Feature films opposite Paul Rudd, Winona Ryder and Katherine Heigl
  • Jim Henson Muppeteer

  • Authored editorials for Huffington Post, USA Today, The New Yorker and Time Out

I know. It’s absurd!

But my deep toolbox now provides the tools for your breakthroughs. 

 

Whether it be a script, a cabaret, an audition, an event, a TV/stage production, a speech, a product launch, digital, technical and musical design or on-set support … the obstacles are the same.
