About
Documentary-style storytelling, short- and long-form features, branded content and case studies are my specialties. I’m particularly experienced at managing two or three clients on the same project, helping them to achieve common goals. I'm proficient with crews of any size, from one videographer run-and-gun to large productions with several cameras.
As a child, my first hobby was photography and my first big purchase a Canon camera. Growing up on a farm in rural Colorado, I developed an appreciation for natural beauty and hard work. And the isolation created a longing for travel. It’s all led to a meaningful career in TV and video production, roaming North America and the world for work and fun.
I've field produced, directed and written hundreds of stories from every continent. I’m a skillful interviewer who makes people feel at ease. As a show producer, I’ve created dozens of half-hour and one-hour episodes and specials which have aired on a diverse collection of networks. Directing crews large and small, I'm an organized, innovative and fiscally-minded manager who provides a creative and comfortable working atmosphere.
