Neil Winterrowd

After a years long battle with severe untreated depression and a resulting life threatening opiate addiction that derailed a successful 17 year career in finance, Neil Winterrowd of Orange County, California, has reinvigorated his life by exploring the world of comedy screenwriting. A former annuities broker, he has a natural passion for comedy that extends back to his days as a stand-up comedian while in college at U.C. Berkeley. With recent encouragement from a close friend (and entertainment executive), Neil enrolled in the U.C.L.A. Screenwriting Program and has begun to leverage his comedy skills to work on screenplays for television shows and feature films for a premier Hollywood studio.
