He is also the founder of Dead Ends Entertainment, a company specializing in novelty games, books, and apparel. In 2018, Sam made his big screen debut as Big Aviators in the hit thriller, Bullitt County. Sam also serves as an editor for Melodic Virtue, a publishing company that specializes in limited series coffee table books about influential punk rock bands, and is a founder of Dareaoke, a phone app for daring people to sing Karaoke.
