🤝 It's a pleasure to meet you! I'm Gene.

 

I'm a Los Angeles-based copywriter who dabbles in screenwriting. I love storytelling, finding humor in everyday life, and collaborating with people who inspire me.

 

The creative advertising bug first bit me when I was working at Paramount Pictures, and I had the opportunity to write a commercial starring William Shatner. 

 

Before finding advertising, I wrote sketch comedy for the UCB Theater, iO West, and the CBS Diversity Showcase. Later, I found my way to The Book Shop, where I built my portfolio. 

 

Other tidbits about me: 

 

• I'm the other only child who happens to be born on December 25th.

 

• I've traveled to 20 countries. Highlights include eating fried crickets, going to a robot cabaret show, and hanging out with alpaca.

​

• One time, I made a song inspired by a cake gifted by Tom Cruise.

 

• Lifelong pro-wrestling fan (it's still real to me!)

​

• Of course, I'd love to swap recommendations for shows we each should be streaming.
