Michael is a Dominican-American comedy and animation writer from New York, based in Los Angeles. He loves to write sharp comedies with humor and heart. He was most recently staffed on Netflix’s RUNNING POINT, a workplace comedy from Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and Dave Stassen. He has previously worked on shows from Audible/Broadway Video, Bento Box/20th TVA, Sony, Disney, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and more. He’s a two-time Emmy-nominee for his writing in animation.

Michael’s writing has been recognized by the WGA East’s “Made in NY” Fellowship, the BMI Musical Theater Workshop, Read Latinx Writer’s Initiative, the Sesame Street Writers Room, and the Outfest Screenwriting Lab. He was also a finalist for the FOX Writer’s Incubator (Adult Animation). Through these experiences, Michael has been mentored by showrunners like Robert Carlock (30 Rock), Ali Schouten-Seeks (iCarly), and Moisés Zamora (Selena: The Series).

Michael got his start in sketch comedy, musical theater, and satire writing. He’s been published in McSweeney’s Points In Case, Janice Mag, and more. His digital sketches were often featured on the Funny Or Die homepage. When he isn’t writing at his local coffee shops, you can find him giving misleading directions to tourists in Griffith Park.
