Hello.
I am a creative entrepreneur and development consultant with a passion for making new things that disrupt established markets, dogmas and aesthetics.
I am an Associate with Lagovent Ventures Group, where I assist with the development and management of portfolio companies and investments that range from internet startups to syndicated real estate.
In 2005, I co-founded Brimmer St. Theatre Co., a non-profit company devoted to the development and production of original theater and live arts in Los Angeles. I serve as the company’s Managing Director and as a creative principal or advisor on most projects.
I am a writer, director and producer of theatre, film and commentary. Past works include: F-Words (Summer St. Theater), Witkacy or Metaphysical Speculations Lead Inevitably Toward One’s Revolver (Greene Theater), Severance (McCadden Place Theater), <3 (studio|stage), Chris & Steve (Burbank Intl. Film Festival), Leiris/Picasso (Bootleg Theater), Summer in Hell (studio|stage), and a stint at LA Theatre Review.
I blog at sydiot.com and live in Hollywood, CA with my beautiful and prudent partner Jenny Byrd.
