With over 25 years of experience in live-action production, I have led campaigns for some of the world’s most recognized brands — including Amazon, Nike, Facebook, and Netflix — and collaborated with legendary directors like Kathryn Bigelow. My career spans Super Bowl spots, global product launches, celebrity-driven content, and everything in between.

Cutting my teeth in what I fondly call “production bootcamp,” I’ve built my career from the ground up — earning a reputation for calm leadership, sharp problem-solving, and the ability to manage creative chaos with clarity. Whether I’m juggling multimillion-dollar budgets, navigating last-minute shoot changes, or guiding a crew through a high-stakes set, I bring grace, grit, and a no-BS attitude to every production.

I serve on the board of PHBP, overseeing healthcare benefits and exercising fiduciary responsibility while representing freelance commercial producers and non-union crew nationwide. I'm also a mentor and advisory board member for Manifest Works, a nonprofit training and connecting system-impacted individuals to careers in entertainment.

When I’m not producing, you’ll likely find me at the racetrack or winding through LA’s best canyon roads with my car club.

Based in LA and local to both coasts, I’m often at LAX Terminal 3 en route to my beloved: New York City.
