I write/perform/direct experimental theatre and comedy. I perform primarily with the San Francisco Neo-Futurists, where I was also Co-Artistic Director 2019–2025. We perform our critically-acclaimed flagship show The Infinite Wrench every Friday & Saturday. The SF Chronicle calls us one of “22 San Francisco things everyone should do.” I like writing satire that’s clear-eyed and critical of our cultural foibles, but maintains a hopeful outlook grounded in kindness and collective power.

I also sometimes work in political tech, indie film production, and housing cooperatives.
