about me
I’ve been a professional writer for nearly 20 years — from conversation design to marketing campaigns, copywriting, television scripts, hours of stand-up comedy material, and publishing a book of short stories through a Kickstarter campaign. I’m currently a Conversation Designer at Amazon, where I help create awesome voice experiences for Alexa. But no matter the project, my goal has always been the same: connecting with audiences.
When I was younger/cooler, I played soccer for UC Irvine and also joined a fraternity, giving me endless crazy stories to tell you over a beer. After graduating, I hit the road as a stand-up comedian for 8 years, performing thousands of times in 15 different states, including regularly performing at The World Famous Improv, The Laugh Factory and The Comedy Store in Hollywood.
These days, I live a calmer lifestyle in Encinitas, CA with my wife and two young boys. When I’m not writing I’m usually playing soccer, surfing, or teaching my kids new tricks in exchange for M&M’s.
