Hi, I’m Yale.
It might have been the constant antics of my nine siblings that first drew me to the family’s Sony HandyCam. Or maybe I just thought it looked cool.
Either way, my onscreen debut came at 10 years old in a series of short films that will never be seen. Except for this GIF.
In my teenage years, things took a turn for the worst when I received… positive affirmation. I began competing in the local 48 Hour Film Project where I won a number of awards and eventually the competition itself.
After that, I felt I had no choice… All that remained was the terrifying world of Film School. One degree and 10 years later, the wild world of entertainment hasn’t scared me off yet.Â

Whatever it was, it wasn’t long before I made my first short films. My many siblings made for ample if unwilling subjects. When they finally refused, I held casting calls among the neighborhood kids.

Video Podcasting
Upon joining Crooked Media, Pod Save America had 15,000 subscribers on YouTube and 0 subscribers on Snapchat. When I left the company in 2021, both accounts had over 500,000 subscribers.
Pod Save America on Snapchat was a 5 minute cutdown of the show complete with music, graphics and sound effects that I produced and edited twice a week for 2 years accruing well over a 100 million views.
Alongside the podcast episodes, I produced original YouTube content like Crooked History, Political Experts React, Tommy Gets Redpilled, and much more.Â

Creating a Brand “Voice”
My years in content and marketing have been largely made up by creating the infamous “corporate voice.”
I’ve done that through branded content, web series, launch videos, ad campaigns, music videos and more.
I’ve also done this through several “eras” and styles of marketing from polished celebrity ad campaigns through targeted UGC (user generated content) style videos.Â

Scumbag Sunday
After finding myself a part of a merry band of misfits at Emerson College, we decided to team up and begin creating excessively dumb comedies.Â
After our first collaboration, The Broadcast, received the award for best television show at Emerson, we found ourselves unable to stop working together. And Scumbag Sunday was born.
