PREMILES ⭐

Premiles (2017 - present) is an Instagram page/persona I organically developed that traffics in a distinct meme syntax. I've cultivated a highly individuated style of comedy that maintains a direct conversation with of-the-moment internet talking points, either by inverting them or ignoring them all together. My influence is instantly recognizable, and punches well above my 24k follower count.

JUST KIDDING STAR ⭐

THE JUST KIDDING STAR (2019) is a meta-humor posting element I created to make jokes more legible and playfully signpost the irony inherent to the medium. It’s structural simplicity invited iteration and the star quickly mutated across other meme pages and developed into a “star posting” microtrend - even picked up by big brands like Dr. Pepper*

POSTPREMILES (2020-2022) was born after observing my community’s tendency to mirror and riff on my writing style in the Premiles comment section. I invited & collected fan-submitted “Premiles Posts”, demonstrating that my distinct meme syntax is teachable, repeatable, and obsessed over.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE GULCH ⭐

IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE GULCH (2019-Present) Intentionally low-fi and lowstakes, I co-host this locally-minded podcast with poet Alex Swartzentruber. Explorations of Indiana ephemera give rise to charming, self-aware philosophizing. Hyper-local by design, the pod has become a sort of shared folklore to our loyal, international audience. The podcast shares a title with my band’s punk LP and Alex’s poetry collection — creating an SEO agnostic web of creative expression.

LAFFING GAS (2014-Present) Inspired by 80s USHC, the 00s K-town scene, and some of our midwestern contemporaries; Laffing Gas is a hardcore punk band based in Bloomington, Indiana. I contribute vocals, lyrics, and design to the band - most notably developing the distinctive LG smiley logo.
