I am an award-winning producer, director, and editor with 25 years of experience in film and television. I have delivered high-impact storytelling for major networks and international clients across documentary, live events, and unscripted programming. I’m known for creative leadership and end-to-end execution from concept through post-production. I founded 67 Films and have directed and produced for ESPN, ABC, NBC, CBS, and international broadcasters. I’ve led long-form documentary and lifestyle productions in remote environments, managed productions with budgets up to $1.2M, built and led field crews across multiple locations, and guided stories from pre-production through post. I co-created Our Time for ESPN in 2019 and continue to steer projects from concept to delivery.
