I’ve spent most of my life chasing bold creative ideas and finding smart ways to make them happen. Whether on set, in the edit suite, or making animations, I love creative problem-solving and pushing my work to be its best. With 20+ years in broadcast, digital, and brand storytelling, I take a hands-on approach to delivering video projects that flourish. Directing talent, working up creative strategy, and cutting awesome, engaging edits under pressure – I’ll roll my sleeves up and can give you it all! From multi-episode branded content series to national TVCs and visually striking animations, I thrive on the challenge of bringing narratives to life across any format. I’m can work in fast-paced environments with ease, balancing creative ambition with commercial needs to deliver work that’s polished, effective, and built to connect. I’m also a pretty good cook and I play bass and guitar. Just FYI…
