What Would You Say You Do Here… ?

  • Every project starts somewhere. For eight years, I’ve created new entertainment concepts for TV, movies, marketing campaigns, and podcasts. Some have even been good.

  • Writing is the bedrock of every project. From a mission statement to a logline for a new series, my years working in entertainment taught me how to write well.

  • On set is probably my favorite place to be in the world. Both as a producer and director, I can orchestrate the cast and crew to capture a meaningful story.

  • Expertise with Adobe creative suite and understanding of editorial, graphics, and finishing workflows. Edited the feature documentary “Higher Calling” as well as over 100 trailer reels. The story always comes together in the edit.

  • Design and storytelling are skills that, for me, translate into great deck building. Coming from the world of moving pictures, creating a storyboard experience comes naturally.

  • A newer skill. Through the creation of the personal finance platform Baseline, I’ve learned to manage developers, create wireframes, design, and lead a team to execute a product vision

  • Experience selling series concepts to Amazon, Netflix, Max, Nat Geo, ABC, Hulu, Disney+, ESPN+, CNBC, E!, PBS, Discovery, History, A&E, and Food Network.
