I’m a comedy creator, performer, and speaker on a quest to find the funny in being human.

I create larger-than-life characters and drop them into the real world, where they collide with real people, places, and experiences. I believe the funniest moments aren’t always written. They’re discovered.

As Zephyr, my wildly confident mentalist character, I bring comedy and interactive mind-reading magic to corporate events. In my keynote, Character Forward™, I explore how turning self-doubt into comedic characters can help us see our insecurities differently.

I trained at The Groundlings Theatre & School and Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles. My work as Zephyr also earned me Magician Membership in the Academy of Magical Arts at the Magic Castle.

Before returning my focus to comedy and creating, I spent more than 15 years in entertainment and digital media, including at YouTube, Amazon Studios, and Disney. Earlier in my career, I co-created the YouTube comedy group Chad, Matt & Rob, whose sketch comedy and interactive storytelling videos earned more than 100 million views.

Through all of it, I keep coming back to the same idea: comedy is reality. The joke is on us.
