My career began in the Entertainment Industry my freshman year at Boston College, when I unexpectedly landed a speaking role in David Fincher's The Social Network.
I played the Phoenix club pledge who gets the “3 Lies” question wrong and alas, must drop trou in the snow in front of the famed Harvard Statue. The movie’s success opened doors to more opportunities within the movie industry. I co-starred in the Oscar-qualifying short film “Birthday”, and landed more speaking roles in studio movies like Sony Pictures’ Freaks of Nature (Nicholas Braun, Mackenzie Davis, Keegan Michael Key, Bob Odendkirk), indie films like Ride (Bella Thorne), and national commercials like the Game of Thrones “Own The Throne” campaign. I also worked in production on several films, most notably for Will McCormack and Rashida Jones' Celeste and Jesse Forever. My experience in Entertainment introduced me to some of the best storytellers in the world, who inspired and motivated me to not just pursue my acting and writing talents, but to push boundaries at the intersection of technology and art.
The opportunity to join KitBash3D came from my work in Hollywood, and in 2017, I became the first employee at the groundbreaking 3D asset company, which ranked #9 in Gaming on Fast Company’s prestigious list of “World’s Most Innovative Companies” in 2022. I am an autodidact and taught myself digital marketing, while apprenticing under two entrepreneurs who excelled in VFX, strategic partnerships, producing, business development, and content creation. From blasting past 7 figures in revenue in just our first year and a half of operations, to gaining clients like HBO and Disney, to forging a global community of over 100K independent artists, my four-year tenure with the incredible team of tastemakers, engineers, artists, technologists, and marketers was a foundational career experience for me.
In the beginning of 2021 I successfully exited the company to move back to the East Coast and pursue new professional challenges. My thirst to keep learning pushed me to join AppSumo, whose products utilized AI years before ChatGPT became public. As one of their writers, I continue to hone my copywriting skills, increase my knowledge of AI-driven software, and work with a software development platform that helps over 1 million entrepreneurs, SMBs, and freelancers grow their businesses. During the last two years I also completed my first novel, an epic fantasy for ages 16+, and taught at Friends Seminary in Manhattan. Whether it’s the fast-paced and collaborative environment of a technology startup or classroom, the creative bustle of a film set, or the data-driven approach of a fast-growing software development company, I bring 14+ years of content innovation, team building strategies, and direct response storytelling to every project I join.
