QUICK INTRO

• Gen-Xer, grew up in Indianapolis.
• Graduated from Indiana University, where I worked as a cartoonist and editorial columnist for the school paper; I was also a DJ for the campus radio station.
• Started my career in radio doing a little bit of everything: copywriting, production, promotions, and on-air work.
• Moved to L.A. in 2003 to pursue a screenwriting career that never took off (shocking, I know).
• I did eventually land an industry-adjacent role in entertainment marketing with the Los Angeles Times, where I met the brilliant, incredible woman who is now my wife.
• We moved to Seattle in 2014, where I managed the digital comics storefront for an obscure online retailer. Started teaching myself computer animation in my spare time.
• Relocated to Round Rock, TX in 2018.
• Rooting interest in the Hoosiers, Hammers, Bears, Kings, and Cubs. [Will also cheer for teams from places I used to live (Indy, LA, Seattle) as long as they’re not playing one of my “real” clubs.]

I don’t hate my fellow man…even when he’s tiresome, surly, and tries to cheat at poker. I figure that’s just the human material, and him that finds in it cause for anger and dismay is just a fool for expecting better.

MY (PURPOSELY LIMITED) SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE

As a marketer, I know how useful and powerful social media can be. I know these platforms — and how to leverage them — very well.

But because I know them as well as I do, I limit the time I spend with them in “civilian” life (and keep most of my accounts private). My only public-facing profiles are on YouTube, LinkedIn, and Letterboxd. Otherwise, if there’s something I really want to share with the world at large … well, that’s what this website is for.
