With Over One Million Views, my performances, keynotes, and workshops aim to change the way we talk about mental health, addiction, and masculinity.

I’m all about stories. Here’s mine:
I’ve spent a decade performing and teaching at Ivy League Universities, Fortune 500s, and venues across three continents. I’m an official storyteller for The JED Foundation, I was the poet-in-residence for WeWork, and I hold a masters in mental health counseling from The University of Pennsylvania.
I’ve also spent seven years in 12-Step Recovery, survived seemingly insurmountable grief, and been on-and-off psychiatric medications since I was eleven years old.
I step on stage to prove you can be depressed and be dope at the same damn time.
I seek to lift the veil on modern masculinity (e.g. sex, suicide, and porn) and harness narrative to help organizations and individuals address faulty beliefs that hinder confidence and impair productivity.
Together, I bet you love will win.

I was moved in a way that I’ve never been by art before.

I forgot writing once saved my life. You gave that back to me.
