02ABOUT

CREATIVE
DIRECTION
with purpose

I develop the idea, and then I bring it to life: on set, in the edit, and on every screen it lands on.

For more than ten years I’ve directed and produced work for Division I athletics and AT&T SportsNet, earning two Mid-Atlantic Emmy nominations, produced client films in Philadelphia, and built brand and event campaigns across Atlanta.

ON the JOB
