ABOUT ME

My first gig out of college was PA on a Wal-Mart commercial directed by Albert Maysles. I’d heard he was a legend. I just wanted to get hired again, gas money, and cash to buy my first Leatherman. I was good at lifting things. Art Department recruited me. I got hooked. I became a Production Designer. I learned style, architecture, composition, how to articulate things —so my crew could build things.

Inevitably, directing felt like the most fun. Since then, I’ve directed and produced hundreds of commercials and branded projects for national and international brands all over the world. My wheelhouse is comedy dialogue, improv, action and visual storytelling. My instinct for casting and performance is strong — Actors, non-actors, kids, athletes, and animals. I’ve learned I only need to get in the way when I need to, to protect the idea, set the tone, make it safe for people to do great work.
