I like to think of myself as a creator. Whether it's a business or a story, I love being a part of the process of creating something from nothing. Before co-founding 522 Productions, I sharpened my technical and analytical skills as a consultant for Oracle, IBM and other large companies. I also obtained an MBA, with a concentration in Marketing, from the University of Georgia. My past business experience allows me to view creative projects through a critical lens and ultimately helps us focus on what matters. When I get up in the morning, Im excited to explore detailed stories that have universal appeal.
