Looking for a tv writer with unique comedic sensibilities shaped by an unconventional super religious upbringing + British sitcoms and StrongBad? I’m known for my energy in the room, character driven drafts, and punchy dialogue with “far too many Vin Diesel references”. Having lived in three countries by age 12, I come with lots of stories about being the new kid— like creating an illicit crayon commune & performing in a Canadian youth production of Cats. Pure gold.
Looking for my writing CV? Because it's right here, bestie, and it’s almost definitely not up to date. I love writing character-driven comedy and genre, whether it’s a time travel sitcom or a student loan heist feature. Some of my favorite characters to write are naive keeners and the burnt out adults they become, unhinged social groups, and co dependent best friend duos(ie. all my work with Soul Decision Comedy). Balancing jokes with genuine heart is my jam, because we’re gonna laugh like hell and it will get cringey/dark/intense…but we deserve a little sweetness, as a treat.
I’m mostly a tv guy but my first feature screenplay Let’s Do This, co-written with my writing partner (and “husband”) Chris Vandenberg was awarded two rounds of script support from the Harold Greenberg Fund, has been optioned and is currently in development. I also wrote the short films Typecast (Bloody Mary Film Festival) & Felt Like Me (Vancouver Miniature Film Fest) and the CBC Comedy social series Yoga 101.
TLDR; A comedy bitch with heart and a soft spot for anxious weirdos, jaded whimsy and magical realism. I love tv and I love writing it, especially single cam half hours and offbeat genre projects.
