For the last fourteen years I have been a producer and manager working in New York, Los Angeles, and New Orleans. I have produced shoestring budget web series and Super Bowl campaigns. TV pilots that premiered at Sundance and TV shows on Netflix and Amazon Prime. And while I produced those large-scale projects as a freelancer I have also built and managed four video teams – editorial video, branded content, and strategy – at three media companies. I have spent the last two years producing a high-profile podcast for The Verge and I have been an Executive Producer at a small production company since 2019.
I produced this campaign for H&R Block. In total we produced 7 videos. 5 set in a H&R Block office (which we built in a studio) and 2 shot on location in a home.

I am the live action producer for Gabby's Dollhouse. It premiered into Netflix's Top 10 in January 2021 and subsequent seasons (three short seasons release each year) have seen similar success.
I worked on the back to school campaign for Simon Malls. We filmed these spots in a mall in New Jersey. Simon corporate were great as were the managers of the stores inside the mall who helped out with a variety of aspects. It was a great team effort.
Maggie was an independently produced pilot that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2019 and went on to win the Episodic Pilot Competition at SXSW. The pilot was about a woman suffering from postpartum depression who opts to take a comedy class instead of going to therapy.
Samsung let myself and director Vincent Peone make a Blade Runner inspired short film. It was really great to get the room to make something fun without the guardrails of a traditional broadcast commercial.
I was the supervising producer on this feature length documentary about racing legend Hurley Haywood.
In the 1970’s, Hurley Haywood was the dominant force in motor racing, but his personal life remained a mystery. Hurley chronicles a remarkable life, revealing a greater insight into the tightrope walk between career and personal life.
Creative Galaxy is kids show for Amazon Prime created by the co-creators of Blue’s Clues. It is a mostly animated show with live action interstitials and I produced the live action elements of Season 3. It was a blast to work so closely with people who have been making children’s television for 20 years.
This weekly live series ran for 28 episodes and 6 months on Twitter and YouTube. It is a low stakes ‘hands on’ that constantly communicates with the audience and aims to go a little deeper than typical quick looks. The series was created and produced by me and hosted by Nilay Patel the Editor-in-Chief and Paul Miller a founding editor of The Verge.
Condé Nast Entertainment - The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas
Created for The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas and Architectural Digest this short film was part of a larger social campaign spanning across three Conde Nast Brands. As Head of Production at Condé Nast Entertainment I built and managed the team, but also stepped in to produce our larger projects (like this one).
I was the Showrunner on /All Chat, a 4 camera weekly talk show, for 5.5 months. When I came on board there was just a raw studio space, and the talent on board. I worked to assemble the team that created the look and feel of the show. I'm extremely happy with the work that everyone put in to make this show awesome.
I created and produced a web series for The Flama (Univision's web comedy site) called Saving Lives. The six episodes are releasing on The Flama and Hulu at the same time. The deal was written about in The Hollywood Reporter.
I co-produced this 5 episode web series for Comedy Central's CC:Studios. Directed by Josh Ruben and Vincent Peone and starring Jon Gabrus and Justin Tyler.
The third episode, "Pool Volleyball," is my favorite and it's embedded above.

I produced this really cool anti-smoking campaign for the state of Mississippi. It's basically a choose your own adventure for helping people quit smoking. You pick the theme and the subjects you want to focus on, and it edits together a short video you can share with your friend.
It's a good cause, it was fun to make, and the end result turned out really well. It's a producing trifecta.
