Thanks for watching. Hopefully, this will give you a sense of my visual style, comedic sensibility, versatility, craft, production value, and proficiency behind the lens.

I recently completed production on Netflix's new sketch comedy series, "The Who Was Show", directing nearly half of the first season's 13 episode run. Based upon Penguin's hit series of biography books, "Who Was", the show stars Andy Daly and an ensemble of insanely talented and funny teens, who help tell the true stories of these famous and infamous names from history.
With it's stacked writing staff including Brian McCann (Conan), Elliott Kalan (The Daily Show), Eric Gilliland (Roseanne), and boasting a healthy roster of celebrity guest appearances, the show is clean, hard comedy that will appeal to both parents and kids alike.
"The Who Was Show" isn't slated to premiere until April, 2018, but keep an eye on this page for updates and trailers as they roll out!
DIRECTOR
I had the honor of directing one of the film units for Lorne Michaels' NBC primetime variety show, "Maya & Marty", starring Maya Rudolph & Martin Short. It was a real dream come true to direct these living legends. Fun fact: This whole sketch was filmed in one day.
And be sure to check out the director's cut below for a fun deleted scene.

Originally a 5-minute tongue-in-cheek love letter to "Are You Afraid of the Dark", we had the chance to expand this into a full pilot presentation with production company Absolutely and studio Super Deluxe.
In recent news, truTV just purchased the series and ordered 8 episodes, which we shot and are currently in post-production. The series is set to premiere as part of truTV's late-night comedy block in May 2018.

I had the pleasure of directing this pilot presentation for E! network, hosted by the inimitable Nikki Glaser. In it, her comic friends read crazy stories straight from celebrity memoirs, and as they recount the tales, we mount full-scale productions, recreating the wild events as described in the books.
We're currently awaiting verdict on a series order from the network, so please contact me if you'd like to watch.

Cucks is about three ultra-progressive best friends who agree it’s time for privileged, straight white men like themselves to listen, and they’re not afraid to tell you about it. In their effort to be on the right side of history, they end up on the wrong side of everybody.

Mike Kelton is an amazing and magnetic talent, and I was thrilled to direct this weekly topical MTV pilot, starring him and a bunch of other great comedians.
The show began its life as a presentation sizzle, titled "The Hotspot with Mike Kelton". Have a look below!

I was thrilled to direct the opening and closing segments for a new MTV comedy variety pilot, "Daily Disorder".
The "Next Time On" is a fun sketch segment, placing each of the show's stars in a heavily genre-fied cinematic moment, apropos of nothing. For the opening, we took to the streets, and let the people of Times Square do the talking.

DIRECTOR
Comedian Kyle Ayers had the brilliant idea of soliciting porn parody scripts off of Craigslist, then performing those scripts live on stage with his comedian friends. The show, First Comes Love, became wildly popular, and MTV asked me to help them develop it into a television show.
