About Me
I was raised in the scrubland of Eastern Washington just outside of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. I grew up with a love of stories as stark and radioactive as my home.
I attended Western Washington University, where I graduated in 2011 with a degree in theatre and a trophy for winning the National College Improv Tournament with my team, the Dead Parrots Society.
After graduating, I co-founded a theatre company in Seattle and became employed as a prospector of jokes in the internet culture salt mines. After several years sh*tposting for a day job while making theatre and performing 4 times a week on the side, I scored a job in games, and the rest is well-documented LinkedIn history.
I now live in Seattle with my spouse and dog, spending my spare time continuing to tell jokes to strangers for money and backpacking as far away from the internet as possible.
