about ME

I’m a filmmaker, creative executive, and story architect who builds meaning from the inside out — through deep listening, strategic structure, and emotional precision.

As a Thomas J. Watson Fellow, I traveled across six continents documenting music, ritual, and the hidden grammars of human connection. That experience shaped everything that followed: attention, empathy, and curiosity became the foundations of my creative practice.

Since then, I’ve led award-winning films, creative teams, and media campaigns from concept to delivery, with a focus on cross-cultural storytelling, structural nuance, and emotional clarity. My experience includes collaborations with Stephen Arnold Music (FOX, NBC, CBS, ESPN, Nat Geo, Warner Bros.), Red Bull (Skooled Tour), the National Breast Cancer Foundation (Beyond the Shock), the American Heart Association, Gearbox Entertainment (We Happy Few, Duke Nukem), the Carrick Institute (Marcus Luttrell, Invisible Soldiers), and more — including projects across industries well outside the media and entertainment landscape where I began.

Across every project — whether I’m directing, producing, shaping a brand’s narrative, or guiding teams through complex processes — I return to the same principles:

Time creates value.
Understanding creates clarity.
And context — when deeply heard or felt — can create change.

If you’re building something that requires deep listening, nuanced alignment, or truth-seeking, I’d love to help bring it to life.
