The kid of a Rolling Stone writer dad in the ‘70s and Michigan Ave. restaurateur mom in the ‘80s, I’ve harnessed the Rosenthal family hustle into a one-stop podcast producing and content curation shop. Coming up in the Chicago improv and comedy scene and a former music teacher at the historic Old Town School of Folk Music, my comedy and educator background gives me the superpower of being able to effectively facilitate and communicate among a variety of people and work styles and shine in seeing projects through beginning to end, creative production and ideation, and public speaking / show hosting. A semi-finalist for the Andy Kaufman Award and seasoned live event emcee, I have strong instincts for that special sauce to enhance content and cultivate authentic engagement as seen in contract work for Chicago-based non-profits and production companies alike.

The "Dude Jew Photos."My friends over at Oomphotography owed me a favor. Do you need new headshots or anything? they asked. No, but I would like to recreate a bunch of iconic photos of famous Jewish men.
