Bio (technically “auto-bio”)
-
I'm an award-winning filmmaker and creative strategist whose playful and ambitious style delivers out-of-the-box, creative storytelling for clients ranging from global media companies to scrappy startups. I take my work seriously but never take myself too seriously. I unabashedly have a ton of fun and love what I do (as evidenced by the picture of me smiling on set at the bottom of this page).

My first job after graduating from Emerson College was at ESPN where I had the privilege of learning from some of the most impressive people I've ever been around. While there I cut the longest highlight in SportsCenter history (11.5 minutes - 2014 BCS Championship Game) and got to produce a memorable SportsCenter segment hosted by Ron Burgundy.
Then it was time for a quick quarter-life-crisis move to London to get my Masters, where I then created and starred in the award-winning digital comedy series Homesick based on the true story of my time living in London with a woman battling cancer and her 9 year old daughter who loved to bully him. The series raised thousands of dollars for The Cancer Research Institute.
I spent the next two years directing campaigns for brands including Nike and the NFL. So it was only natural that from there I went to work as Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg's personal joke writer on their cooking show on VH1.
Since 2018 I've been Head of Creative Strategy at Tandem Bike - a creative freelance cooperative run by ESPN & Netflix alum in the US & UK that produces premium sports content and high-performing targeted ads.

Often times I'm brought in by clients to work alongside their in-house team and other times I'm tasked with sourcing a team based on the scope of the project.
Every project has different needs and I bring flexibility, resourcefulness and strong communication to ensure we produce something great.
-
I specialize in providing creative solutions to client's nagging problems. I cast a wide net and bring as many ideas as possible to the table and then take a data-driven approach to finding the best solution. I always make sure we set clearly defined measurable goals for success to ensure success.
-
I've been fortunate to work in every stage of production from directing projects with crews of +50 to operating as a nimble one-person-band doing everything myself. I'm often bring during the ideation phase to pitch ideas and manage campaigns through to post production and launch.
-
This is what I do best. Whether it's a sports feature, a comedy series, a podcast - I work with you to figure out what the key elements of your story are and what the most captivating and compelling way to tell it is.
-
If I make a great piece of content for you but no one sees it - that's a huge bummer. That's why I often run social ad campaigns for clients so that not only am I telling their story - but I'm making sure it's told to the right people at the right time.
