At 8 years old, I won third place in a local talent show for performing the “World’s Longest Burp” and I’ve been winning ever since.
My name is James.
I’m a writer, comedian, promotions director, production assistant, freelance content producer, and commerce reviewer living in Brooklyn, NY.
I have a passion for stories and finding new and innovative ways to tell them. Whether it be film, articles, radio interviews, podcasts, or TV shows, finding ways to entertain is something I’m drawn to.
I graduated from the University of North Florida in Jacksonville with a B.S. in Communications with a focus in Journalism and a minor in Creative Writing.

I read a lot and I like to watch movies. I mostly listen to podcasts. I really like Taco Bell and going out for breakfast. I love the Grateful Dead, a crisp pair of white Reeboks, Casio digital watches, and learning how to cook new meals.
