I've been in LA since graduation. In that time, I've worked with Laura Ziskin and Alvin Sargent writing on Spider-Man 2. I spent 4 years shadowing director Shawn Levy and produced The Pink Panther, Cheaper by the Dozen 1 & 2, and Night at the Museum with him. I also worked with Ben Stiller on Tropic Thunder and worked in the writer's room on Bruno. About a year ago, my writing partner and I formed our production company Cherry / Adams Entertainment. We have been building a slate of projects that we're writing and/or producing. Expect to see hopefully several of them next year.

I'm a NYC resident and work at a Sports Production Company called Jalbert Productions International. My primary role is to produce on location and act as a post production supervisor in house. Beyond my creative responsibilities, I handle our Tough Mudder Account, assist with pitches to potential clients, help maintain various client relationships (Red Bull, Maverik, Surefoot), manage social media, organize shoot logistics, manage client budgets and agreements, write script, and more. Jalbert Productions creates documentaries, TV series and programs, commercials, and online videos. website  Linked in
