What an incredible honor to be chosen to puppeteer and voice @libertymutual’s new spokes-puppet, @libertybiberty, in an ad campaign now playing on tv and computer screens everywhere.

It has been a pleasure to work with everyone at Liberty Mutual as well as @banditsandfriends and the amazing artists at @jimhensonscreatureshop. Big thank you to Harold Einstein of Dummy Films for directing.

Shout out to @mikedearie, @gregryb, @anniekarstens, @anneramsayofficial and the legendary @tannernovlan_, who were amazing scene partners. And all the credit in the world to @loribmedlin who was my invaluable guide the entire shoot. Thanks also to Trish Ryan and everyone at @dpntalentllc.

This job has been a dream come true. I’m incredibly fortunate. More to come! #puppet #puppeteer #puppetry #sagaftrapuppeteer taken in Burbank, California by @throwingtoasters

With spooky season getting underway, I’m reminded of one of my favorite puppet gigs of all time: Late Night with Chucky at Universal Studios Hollywood in 2024. Improv with puppets is my favorite thing to do and this show was so much fun. I think of new jokes for this show daily and I miss the entire cast and crew.

The hilarious @loljordancon1ey is asking the questions in this video. Thanks to @robbydevillez for the above desk video.

Big shout out to our tireless crew @cameronzetty, @kathryn.chinn.molloy, @katertot2go, @joseibarrasound & Jenna. Thanks to Rachael and Emily for keeping us on track (and putting up with travel changes). Thanks to @westbethent, @hensoncompany and @puppetup for making it happen. And a big thanks to all the folks who came out to see us. We had a blast and hope you did too! Hope to be able to join more tours in the future because this one was a blast! #puppetup #puppeteer #puppets #puppetry by @throwingtoasters

What you saw vs What you didn’t see @mst3k edition! In celebration of the new @rifftrax episodes!

I puppeteered the hands that were ‘grooming’ @pattonoswalt in this scene but thought folks might like to see the BTS of the brilliant @kevinwmurphy @billcorbett and Mary Jo Pehl! As someone who found #mst3k in high school, it was a dream come true to work with these legends on the reboot.

10 years ago! Here’s another What You saw vs. What You Didn’t See @mst3k Edition (in honor of the new @rifftrax episodes)!

In this BTS from episode 1101, @tb.timbo and @carlarudywriter use a mini-GPC puppet (voiced by @funkybeck) to deliver the Payload and a quip. Love that we got to use these small scale puppets on the show. #puppets #puppetry #puppeteers #mst3k #mysterysciencetheater3000 taken in Burbank, California by @throwingtoasters

What you saw vs What You Didn’t See @mst3k edition!

Here’s a BTS clip from 10 years ago (September 20, 2016) that shows @puppetgarage @carlarudywriter @tb.timbo and @erikkuska puppeteering @barvonblaq’s Tom Servo through space during the filming of Experiment 1106 - Star Crash.

While the take in the BTS clip is not the exact one used in the final (can you spot the subtle differences), this is how it was done.

This show was a dream to work on and what a legendary puppet crew to be part of!
