My comedy tries to solve real problems in the world, from incoherent housing policy, AI existentialism, and mass shootings to raising number sense in our nation’s young children. I sneak jokes into dense academic journal articles and knowledge into open mics. I have even pitched my out-of-pocket solutions to Bill Gates (and gotten a multimillion-dollar grant afterwards).
