Executive Producer | Creative Production & Operations

With 25 years in creative production, I’ve built my career at the intersection of creative ambition, production expertise, and the practical thinking it takes to bring great ideas to life. I’m an Executive Producer based in Colorado, with experience producing integrated campaigns and content for global brands including Apple, Samsung, Volkswagen, Infiniti, and MLB across film, photography, social, digital, animation, CGI, and post-production.

I believe production should be part of the creative conversation from the beginning—not simply step in once an idea has been approved. I enjoy getting into the work early, exploring what’s possible, finding smart solutions to constraints, building the right teams, and connecting creative talent with the right opportunity. Over the years, I’ve built an extensive network of directors, photographers, production companies, post partners, and specialized talent around the world, and I’m still energized by discovering new creative voices.

I’ve also spent much of my career building the infrastructure behind great creative work—from production teams and workflows to project management, post-production, digital asset management, and internal photo and video capabilities. I enjoy finding better ways to work, creating efficiencies without sacrificing craft, and helping creative organizations expand what they’re capable of producing.

Outside of work, creativity is still a big part of my everyday life. Photography keeps me curious and constantly looking at the world differently, whether I’m traveling, exploring a new place, or simply noticing the light and details around me. And raising two daughters who have pursued their own paths through academics, sports, and the arts has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. One is now off to college in Boston, bringing a whole new chapter—and a little more travel—into the mix.

I’m naturally curious about what’s next, from emerging talent and evolving production models to AI and new technology. After 25 years, I’m still learning, still making, and still excited by the challenge of turning a great idea into something real.
