I am Aaron Engel, a screenwriter with three completed half-hour pilots in active competition submissions and twenty years of client-facing experience across financial services, luxury retail, and automotive sales. I write systemic satire — stories where the structure is the antagonist and the people inside it are the point. I also fix other people’s scripts and help companies find the narrative they’re actually telling. My background in licensed financial advising, consultative selling, and relationship management translates to understanding how characters and audiences make decisions under pressure.
