About Jeff

Jeff is a New Yorker 90's kid turned comedy writer based out of the world-famous Groundlings Theater, where he is an alumni and senior teacher. Jeff's active feature slate includes a horror comedy with Radio Silence (READY OR NOT, SCREAM V & VI), a dramedy with Andy Fickman (PLAYING WITH FIRE, ONE TRUE LOVES), and an adventure comedy with the producers of TED. He has written and created comedy pilots for NBC and A&E as well as consulted on everything from WB animated films (SMALLFOOT) to Ron Howard pilots (TAX MAN) to Wanda Sykes' sketch show (USA Network). Jeff is a highly in-demand comedy teacher and coach for clients like G4, SMOSH, and students all over the world. When he's not boiling pasta for his hilarious 2 year old daughter, he dreams of being a modern day Ivan Reitman or Joe Dante.


"A veteran of the comedy scene, Jeff has more projects in the pipeline than we can keep track of and it won't be long before reps get into a signing war. From acting in major TV shows, to appearing in festivals nationwide and selling pilots to broadcast networks, Jeff captivates audiences with his comedic chops that feature heartfelt and relatable characters combined with stylized and hilarious narratives. If that was not enough, he also has three features in development - one with Radio Silence (SCREAM, READY OR NOT), one with Davis Entertainment, and another with director Andy Fickman (PLAYING WITH FIRE).
