Born and raised in Las Vegas, Reese started his journey into entertainment by attending performing arts school as a theater major from grades 6-12. He went on to study broadcast journalism at UNLV while simultaneously teaching 6th grade English. He soon landed a job at the local PBS affiliate and helped produce several televised educational programs. Wanting to make the shift into scripted narrative television, Reese enrolled in the Peter Stark Producing Program at USC. His writing professor, Jessica Sharzer (American Horror Story, A Simple Favor) hired him as her writers’ assistant on an unannounced, hour-long Apple TV+ project. From there, Reese went on to become the script coordinator on the second season of Fuse’s Sugar and Toys. After writing an episode of S&T, he was hired as a freelancer to write on a soon-to-be-announced Netflix animated series. Having worked in comedy, drama and animated rooms, Reese has determined that he enjoys each genre, so long as there’s room for sarcastic humor and the occasional pop culture reference.
