about


I'm a producer, director, writer with more than 10 years of experience producing national cable and broadcast network shows. I've produced reality tv, documentaries, news magazines, sports and live news shows, commercials and corporate videos. How's that for diversity?

For the past 4 years, I've worked as the development producer at one of the largest independent production companies in the country. Winnercomm is one of the few facilities to house its own creative design team, production group, internet development staff, remote operations division and ad agency. At Winnercomm, I've had the unique opportunity to work with every division developing original series, concepts and ads for a diverse range of networks and clients. This position has given me the advantage of working on broadcast, commercial and corporate projects and forced me to have a commanding presence in both the field and throughout post production. I know how to start from nothing, create a plan, communicate the vision and see it through.

Before Winnercomm, I worked at VH1 producing clip shows including “All Access: Michael Jackson's Most Shocking”, “The Fabulous Life of Celebrity Wives”, “Retrosexual: The 80s” and occasionally served as a talking head on shows like “Reality TV Secrets Revealed.” I also spent four years at TV Guide Channel as the senior producer of “Entertainment News.” And way before all of that, I paid my dues in local news for 6 exciting, wide-eyed, fast-paced, early mornings, late nights, no-holidays and severely cash-strapped years. Fun times.

Random facts:
+ I've run the New York Marathon 3 times, Chicago twice, and the LA, Dallas and the Redwood Forrest marathons each once.
