Is currently writing scripts for Kevin Smith's View Askew Company entitled "Karney," "Mr. Nobody" and about the Jersey Devil.Was a production assistant for almost all of Kevin Smith's movies.Worked at Kevin Smith's comic book store, Jay & Silent Bob's Secret Stash.Is best-known and recognized from his role as the uptight comic book geek/ store owner "Steve-Dave Pulasti" from "Mallrats" which became a running character in Kevin Smith's films.The script for "Karney" was going to be made into another film like his freshman debut "Vulgar," but it was decided it wouldn't work as a film, so it was made into a comic book mini-series (with often co-star "Fanboy" Walt Flanagan doing the artwork).Is currently working on two scripts, the first being a horror movie about the Jersey Devil. The other is about a fallen teen 80s star who had made a pact with the devil. One of the parts of the contract was that she wouldn't remember the deal until it was time to pay up. These three souls from hell come up and try to claim her. It's kind of a surrealistic road trip movie.Took creative writing classes with friend Kevin Smith after high school.
