I started improvising in 2002 in undergrad with CMU’s No Parking Players. After graduating I (mistakenly) thought there was no real scene in Pittsburgh, and a friend and I held auditions for what would become Irony City (still going strong 20 years later!). Since then, I have been on house teams, indie teams, wrote and performed in original sketch/concept shows, directed long and short form concept shows, coached house teams, indie teams and duos, did a (very) small tour, and co-created the Pittsburgh Comedy Festival. I also taught curriculum classes at SCIT and then Arcade, and created and taught a number of original courses and workshops including Arcade’s Pop-Up Night for beginners, Duo Improv, and Mx Performance. I am always working to make Pittsburgh a comedy scene where performers and producers at all stages can level-up.

Community, student and semi-professional theater, classes at SCIT and Arcade, and workshops all over. Some of my most impactful instructors have been Asaf Ronen, Craig Cackowski, Fred Brown, PGraph, Susan Messing, TJ Mannix, and a Fallout Theater intensive.
