I make television and tell idiotic jokes. I have a creative job, and I extend that to life outside of work. I play guitar, write, and run marathons.

My sense of humor alternates between sarcastically ironic and ironically sarcastic. I’m irrationally enthusiastic about my favorite music, films and TV shows, but I will not tolerate Van Halen post-David Lee Roth or Police Academy post-Steve Guttenberg.

I was born in the Bronx, grew up in the burbs, and have been living in Williamsburg for way too long.

I write and produce television (History Channel, Food Network, A&E). I just started full time at Animal Planet, and I'm counting the days until Puppy Bowl.

You're intellectually curious, have a sense of adventure and value creativity. Beyond that, you're fun, honest, and a little crazy (in a good way).
