Hello! I’m Will, a copywriter who used to be a screenwriter before realizing there were careers where you could actually earn money.

I was born and raised just outside the middle of nowhere in Des Moines, IA. I moved to LA in 2013 to get a screenwriting degree from USC.

While I was there, I joined the SC drumline and performed at 26 home football games, 14 away games, the opening of the first-ever Chinese Old Navy, and with Questlove on the Tonight Show. My last game was the greatest Rose Bowl ever. My back still hurts.

Since graduating, I’ve worked in Film and TV with writers, directors, actors, showrunners, producers, and managers. I’ve seen the business inside and out. And I’ve seen enough!

So I built a portfolio with The Book Shop School for Ads and the One Creator Lab, because I’d really like a creative job with health insurance someday.

I live in Culver City with my girlfriend Kiki and our dogsitting calendar is booked through Spring 2026.

I recently recorded two original songs at Golden Bear Records, the best recording studio in the Midwest. If you stream them 1,000 times, Spotify will give me $4. So get started:

I also wrote and produced a totally-not-depressing short film about an alcoholic work-from-home IT guy that you can watch here:

And just for fun, here are the top 5 songs I’ve seen live and a comprehensive spreadsheet of every show i’ve ever been to.
