Hi. I am an Emmy Award-winning writer/producer/director with over fifteen years' experience. I was a senior producer at ABC News, where I oversaw the network's slate of original digital video programming, where I was responsible for the content and creative direction of these series, as well as the development of new series. I also spent eleven years with Comedy Central, heading up the network's award-winning digital video initiatives and overseeing a team of writers, producers and editors. I've also produced mobile live-streaming video for the New York Post and Page Six. Additionally, and independently, I produced "Containment: Life After Three Mile Island," an hour-long documentary on the 1979 nuclear accident, and a mockumentary starring Ed Helms, "Zombie-American." I'm interested in a broad range of topics, including (but not limited to) history, travel, the environment, warfare, baseball, comedy, books and literature, and culture.

I have worked in journalism for eight years, branching often into marketing and sponsored content. At my core I am a storyteller, specializing in cinematography. As a field producer I have risen to challenges in many austere environments, including Iraq, Korea, India, Mexico and Standing Rock. I have also done on-camera correspondent work for documentary projects in Haiti and across the United States. I believe documentary filming is simple, but not easy. I don't wait for inspiration; I keep a camera ready for when it comes. I toil at the technical, ace the audio and prioritize verité. I know how to find the perfect shot, but I'm Zen enough to settle for good if chasing it might disturb the honest vibe of a scene. If the video feels true, I know the work is worthy. When I'm not in the field, I'm happiest sharing what I've learned with others. I've taught college students as well as working professionals, typically offering hands-on field production and editing skills. As a Marine veteran, I also mentor service members through their transition to civilian life - especially those angling for careers in journalism. I believe veterans are under-represented in the media industry, and they offer a diversity of experience and first-hand knowledge that is invaluable to newsrooms.

I am a creative in post-production who has been an Avid, Premiere, and FCP editor for more than a decade. I am fortunate to have worked with a broad range of clients including broadcast networks, corporate clients, ad agencies, and documentary filmmakers. Most recently I’ve been producing promos for broadcast and social media distribution. This diverse spectrum of work environments has taught me to work quickly and efficiently with a variety of producers, both as a team player and flying solo when necessary. I am adept at juggling projects, organizational tasks, implementing graphics, incorporating music effectively, and taking and properly executing notes. In addition to a background in all elements of post-production, I also have had considerable experience in pre-production and production, including content creation, shooting, and directing. I greatly enjoy exercising those muscles when the opportunity arises.
