Writer, actor, and standup comedian—those are just a few of the hats he wears. He’s most widely recognized as a key member of the internet sketch group Derrick Comedy, where his sharp wit and creative flair really began to shine. Over the years, he’s built an impressive resume, writing for several popular sitcoms like Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory, Workaholics, and The Grinder. It’s clear that his talent has been brewing for a long time.
Even before he hit the big time, he was already making waves in comedy. He started performing standup at just fourteen years old—an impressively young age. So young, in fact, that his parents had to tag along to every single one of his sets. That early start laid the foundation for what would become a dynamic career in entertainment. Later on, he honed his craft by studying film and television at the prestigious Tisch School of the Arts, sharpening both his writing and performance skills.
Originally hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, he made the move to Los Angeles, California—a pivotal moment in his journey. And interestingly, it was around that time he decided to become a teetotaler, choosing a sober lifestyle as he navigated the bustling world of Hollywood. Through it all, he’s remained a consistent and creative force, with his name becoming increasingly synonymous with smart, edgy comedy. His name keeps coming up—not just as a performer, but as a writer who truly understands the rhythm of humor.
He’s dabbled in acting from time to time, landing a few small but memorable recurring roles on popular shows like Community and Weeds. He really made the most of his screen time, bringing a natural presence to each appearance. Though not a full-time actor, he’s shown up just enough to leave an impression—especially in those fan-favorite episodes of Community and Weeds where his character added a subtle yet distinct flavor. He clearly knows how to work within the ensemble cast, fitting in seamlessly while still standing out when it counts. Whether it was a quick line or a multi-episode arc, he handled each role with a quiet confidence that made viewers take notice. He may not be in every scene, but when he’s on screen in Community or Weeds, you can’t help but pay attention.
