You tell the story,

I make it happen...

My Journey

Since leaving that company, I began producing local content independently,

finding validation through awards and YouTube views in the millions. As a

producer, I’ve come full circle in my career. Whereas I used to be curious 

“how the sausage was made,” I’m now responsible for making that

sausage… and I couldn’t be happier doing it.

I’ve always been fascinated by how things are made. Whether I was tinkering as a child, building things from spare parts, or dismantling them… I’ve always wanted to know “how the sausage was made.” Applying that curiosity to my love for entertainment is what brought me to the local PBS affiliate in college, where I worked various crew positions for 2 years, followed by another 13 in LA, where I changed gears and worked my way up to “captaining the ship” of some of the most beloved unscripted shows of their time (see resume 😉). It was a fun 15 years, but as with all good things, it was time to move on.

 

In 2015, I started a new adventure as an Agency Producer in San Diego.  Bringing my knowledge to a boutique agency, I supercharged their productions through improved processes and professional crew they'd previously felt was unattainable.  Using this opportunity, I honed my producing skills, creating some of the most significant and memorable projects the company had ever conceived.
