I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about my relationship with social media, and it’s safe to say we’ve had a complicated, love-hate thing going on. I activate, I engage, I scroll—only to disconnect, deactivate, and vanish from it all. And trust me, this cycle isn’t about playing games or being elusive. It’s about something … Read more

I have been a creator of comedy content since 2008 and began making short films in 2013. My latest short film recently and unexpectedly won several awards at the 8th annual LOL Jax Film … Read more

It seems that studios are more interested in riding the coattails of past successes than in creating something new and innovative. The disappointment of seeing beloved characters and stories stretched thin in a forced … Read more

I’m excited to share a family project we recently finished: our short film, “Stuffy.” I made it with my daughter, Ava, and the process ended up being a fun experience for all of us. To clarify up front, “Stuffy” is a satirical mockumentary. Ava plays a slightly exaggerated version of herself, and she is not … Read more
After my last update, I took a breath and decided to focus my intentions on changing negative thoughts to positive ones. The biggest challenge in overcoming the addiction to sugar and refined carbs, for me, has been the mental part of it all. I’ve really been focusing on my negative thoughts, but in a way … Read more
This day started out bad — it’s the day that I woke up at 12:30 a.m. and ate a ton of cottage cheese. 😬 We all have something that bothers us. It could be relationship issues, financial issues, or maybe you’re one of those idealists that worry about the state of the world (not that … Read more
It’s been an extremely busy week, so I haven’t been able to update in a while, but I’m still kicking ass on this Breaking Up with Sugar Journey… well, kind of. I made a few mistakes in the past few days, some of which I mention in the recap video below. One that wasn’t mentioned … Read more

What a way to start off my journey on quitting sugar and building a new relationship with food. I was tested from the moment I woke up. From getting run off the road multiple times on my commute, to working with tigers on a live shot for the news, to witnessing a man collapsing on … Read more
