About

Hi! My name’s Eli, short for Eliezer, which is ancient Hebrew for “skinny kid from Jersey.”

I’m an award-winning writer for brands like Panda Express, Microsoft, and eBay — but I started my career as a 13-year-old stand-up comic in New York City.

Prior to advertising, I graduated from NYU Tisch and worked as a screenwriter in Hollywood, developing TV and films. I even had my wedding at a drive-in movie theater, which you can read about in The New York Times.
