Born and raised in Wichita, KS, I moved to NYC to work at Vimeo. I like taking photos, trying new beers, and playing video games.

doilookcoolrightnowI love all elements of how British society lends itself to comedy – you know, it’s own sort of pompousness and self-loathing and class system and cynicism and irony: all these sorts of things are strongest here. Something like Curb Your Enthusiasm, great though it is, it’s like their first faltering steps into that world of self-loathing that we, as a post-imperial power, have been in for the best part of a century. I think the Americans will be doing some amazing comedy in 60 to 70 years’ time. But for the moment I’d say we’re in the right part of the curve of the decline of our civilisation in order to be funniest.
