In an industry that prefers hammers, I’m the last of the Swiss Army knives.
I’m not someone who fits easily into a box. Many aspects of this work delight and intrigue me. Sometimes I’m directing, sometimes I’m producing, sometimes I’m developing and closing deals and sometimes I’m doing it all.
Most recently. I launched IBM’s narrative series in Al, collaborated with Time Inc. on multiple campaigns including their “Person of the Year,” and took the helm of The Guardian’s original branded content studio, securing over 2 million dollars worth of partnerships.
Earlier work includes: Winning Digiday’s best content studio in 2019. Prior to that I was Executive Producer of the content studio at AOL/HuffPost/Verizon, where I secured over 3 million dollars in branded series annually and launched an originals slate with over 400 million unique views garnering the most significant series viewership in AOL and Huffington Post’s history: Celebs Have Issues, Best Bites, and 2 Point Lead.
I’m a passionate risk taker and storyteller who loves the adrenaline of problem solving and the intoxicating feeling of getting something right. My work runs the gamut in the areas of comedy. news, lifestyle, documentary, sports, music, travel and live events for premium brands and networks such as: AMEX, Amazon, AOL, CBS, Discovery Networks, Food Network, Fox, HGTV. Huffington Post, Players Tribune, Showtime, Travel Channel, Tastemade, and Viacom.
My array of capabilities are always leveraged to meet the needs of the client. Offerings include matching content development with ROI, securing partnership deals, translating budgets to quarterly goals, casting, talent management, physical production and execution, on set directing, agency and team management and coming in hot with ideas that might be unexpected yet backed by years of experience.
A hallmark of my career has been my ability help celebrities of the highest caliber feel comfortable and thereby able to give the performance we all came for. For the full list check out Celebrity Snake Charmer.
In addition to production and consulting, I am passionate about issues affecting women, children, and marginalized communities. I work with nonprofits and equity organizations like CHADD, Autism Speaks, Stop the Traffic, Saving Jane, and The Human Rights Campaign. I also run my own celebrity 501c3 Funny for Fido to raise awareness and assistance for shelter dogs.
