He moved to New York City in 2018 to pursue standup comedy, his debut standup special 'Live at the RAT' is on YouTube now. Since moving he's independently produced the sitcom pilot 'walkups' that he wrote, studied improv and performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade, Second City New York, Magnet Theater, performed at countless standup shows, and organized a tenants union. Max has worked on a beef farm, been an electrician, and driven semi-trucks, his experience growing up working class in a poor rural area informs his art.
