A storyteller across all platforms
I've built my reputation as a go-to writer, producer, and director by consistently delivering standout content through successful collaboration with brands and artists. Many credit my success to the ability to seamlessly blend salesmanship with entertainment, but for me, it all comes down to passion. This drive has led to impactful work for clients such as HBO, Meta, Nickelodeon, Women's Health Magazine, Prudential, USA Network, the Puppy Bowl, Peacock, Dannon Yogurt, and many more. Whether it's content and advertising, podcasts and documentaries, or long-form television, I've made a heck of a mark—and I'm just getting started.

Dusk til Dawn with Mac DeMarco
Rolling Stone/Transition Lenses
Producing and directing this mini-doc was a hit with both fans and the brand. That success led to subsequent collaborations with DeMarco and a lasting partnership with Transition Lenses.
Behind the Action: Daredevil
Rolling Stone/Marvel
I created this series for Rolling Stone to showcase smaller roles on big movies when the stars were not available. The results turned our previously unknown stuntman into a sought-after interviewee and led to a unique personal relationship as Marvel’s 'official leaker.'
Suits “A House Divided” campaign
USA Network
As the sole writer, Creating the slogan and campaign for USA’s biggest show in its final season was a privilege. The results were record ratings and a campaign that USA submitted for every award.
