About Me

I have been performing stand up comedy for over 12 years at comedy clubs and colleges across the U.S. and some really funny sounding places in Canada. The last 5 years however, much of my focus has been indie film. I am the screenwriter of several Mormon oriented movies most notably, The Singles Ward. Last year however, I wrote, produced, and directed Mobsters and Mormons starring the brilliant Mark DeCarlo.
Mobsters and Mormons is about a mafia family from New Jersey placed in the witness relocation program to an all-Mormon community in Utah. Made for a whopping $350,000 (most of which was financed by winnings from buying $700,000 worth of scratch off Lotto tickets) the film was distributed by HaleStone Distribution and played theatrically throughout the western U.S and one really funny sounding place in Canada. It is currently available on DVD.
