Got the “So funny”, “Should be very proud” shout-out from Margaret Cho, who read my pilot
“Mike Mates.”
This is my 30 Rock script that made a Recommend Writer on TV Writer.com.

Writing Experience at Robert Half Creative Group from 2013-2014
Wrote a Louie spec “Patrice Appreciation Day” on train ride homes from Metro-North that Nick
DiPaolo loved. Later, I wrote a pilot about 2nd
generation Italian American brothers form
Yonkers for Nick & Bobby Slayton called “Mr. Right.”

Writing Experience at VH1 & VH1 Classic through from 2012-2013
As the Head Writer for “America’s Hard 100” for VH1’s Music Independence Day, I wrote all
the music video host reads for a 15 hour themed music video marathon that was hosted by WWE
great Chris Jericho. My final intro send off for Jon Bon Jovi rocked them all.

As the Creative Consultant for “VH1’s Music Independence Day”, that was hosted by VH1 Top
20 Countdown host Jim Shearer. I wrote the music video host reads, artists plugs, revised DNA
headphone spots, interview questions for Jill Scott & a sketch starring the Philly Phanatic. The
host Jim Shearer decided to ad-lib everything, so I have no clips for this broadcast worth sharing.
2. Developed my “Heavy Metal High” pilot trilogy with my producer boss Jay Moran. That gave
me my TV writing break at Viacom. Pitched “Heavy Metal High” in person to the EVP of
Production of VH1 Classic Lee Rolontz, among other top executive brass. Without an agent or
manager, which isn’t chopped liver either.

Publishing Cred
Got published in back, to back, to back issues of Fire & Knives, which won best “new food
writing” magazine in England. Was the only American published in all 3 of these F&K issues.
