About

Whether the audience is five million viewers, executive stakeholders, or prospective donors, the job is the same: make people care.

For over two decades, I've built and led creative organizations that take ambitious ideas and turn them into something audiences actually show up for, repeatedly. My work spans unscripted and documentary content production, advocacy storytelling, brand partnerships, editorial leadership, and creative strategy across broadcast, streaming, digital, and live programming.

I also write. From VO and copy to shaping stories in the edit, writing keeps me connected to the creative work itself. I believe good storytelling should make people feel, think, and even act.

My path has been anything but linear, and I've come to appreciate that. A deliberate chapter in higher education, including counseling and advising, institutional communications, and program-building at USC and Caltech, shaped how I think about creative organizations: the people inside them matter as much as the content coming out of them. That same instinct is what's now drawing me toward communications and content leadership in service of missions I believe in.

The work has earned recognition from critics and audiences alike. Big Brother drew nominations at the People's Choice Awards and the MTV Movie & TV Awards. Whale Wars earned Emmy nominations for cinematography and editing, including an Outstanding Cinematography Emmy nomination and an ACE Eddie Award nomination for an episode I produced, "Race to Save Lives." On Native Soil was shortlisted by the Academy as one of the top documentaries of its year. But what I'm proudest of is building the kind of creative infrastructure that lets good work happen consistently, not just once.

What I've learned leading creative teams travels well beyond traditional media. Whether it's helping an organization figure out what stories to tell, building the editorial frameworks to tell them well, or developing a content slate from the ground up, that's the work I'm drawn to now. I'm especially interested in mission-driven organizations, foundations, tech companies, and institutions that know they have something worth saying and want a creative leader who can help them say it with intention and reach.

The best creative environments balance ambition with clarity, move fast without losing the vision, and still find ways to enjoy the work even on the hard days.
