I'm a comedy writer based in LA, originally from NYC. I strive to unearth the humor, heart, and honesty in all places, be it the humdrum of the daily grind in Today’s Special and Apartment Story or a slightly more dire, apocalyptic scenario in The End Times and Ghost Riot. Growing up in New York, a city where countless stories are unfolding at all times, inspired my feature script Tandem, the tale of a street artist and their imaginary friend. I relish in the challenge of adopting perspectives far from my own, as evidenced in Rearranged, the true story of a young Indian woman who fled an arranged marriage. 

I owe at least several of my creative bones to my parents, both classical musicians, my ample practice as the straight man to my borderline-insane college roommates, and my love of language to my grandfather Saul, slayer of the Sunday crossword, a Jewish-English immigrant who would imbue warmth and playfulness into every turn of phrase. Years after his passing, I discovered a memoir in which Grandpa Saul notes one of his biggest "what-ifs" in life —-  passing on a certain screenwriting opportunity in the ’50s in favor of the steady work of teaching, necessary to support a growing family. Two generations later, I believe I'm free to pursue the path Saul was not able to take thanks to the foundation he and the rest of my family laid before me.
