I live and perform in Boston, but I want to write for television and film. I only realized this in the last year or so.
Now I'm shifting focus from supportive, group-minded, always-fun improv shows to frustrating, obsessive, occasionally rewarding written projects. I'm smithing my first few spec scripts with the goal of finding representation in Hollywood, moving to L.A., and writing for kickass projects for the rest of my life. (And continuing to do improv in dark theaters.)

An accident at a small-town amusement park forces the park's most dedicated ride operator to investigate the deficiencies of his workplace. As he gathers the evidence necessary to clear his name, he dives deeper into the carnival's seedy underbelly, until his only choice is to become an agent of the park's destruction.

Older Writing Projects
The Wasteland Comedy Hour with T.S. Eliot!
I co-created, co-produced, hosted, wrote, and directed for this aggressive multimedia variety show. A number of our films, sketches, and bits are on WastelandComedy.com or highlighted in the Media section.
The Uncommonwealth
I write sketches and short films for The Uncommonwealth, a Boston-based comedy ensemble. Most of our work is online (see my contributions in the Media section).
The Chagoon Conspiracy
The first play I ever wrote. It's a sci-fi comedy about an inept space commander's fall from grace. I produced the script as an audio play, and you can listen to it in its entirety in the A/V section or on ChagoonConspiracy.com.
