At Movers+Shakers, I'm currently creative directing, spreading joy, and breaking engagement records. The agency uses original music to connect brands with culture through digital campaigns.

At Fatherly, I created DUDE TURNED DAD, a web series I wrote, produced, shot, edited, and starred in; it earned 12 million+ views on Facebook Watch and branded sponsorships. I've also written, produced, and directed branded content for HASBRO, SMIRNOFF, and TIDE, and co-created the award-winning show Your Love, Our Musical.
