Los Angeles Director
About
My career began in Los Angeles, Hollywood, and Chicago working for high profile film, television, and commercial production companies like Touchstone Television, New Line Cinema, Towers Productions and A Band Apart. My first job out of graduate school was working for Ka-chew!, the live-action 30 second commercial division of Klasky Csupo, where I worked on brand accounts such as Mattel, Budweiser, and Alpo. At Ka-chew! I worked with many of the top international ads agencies in my capacity as production coordinator and associate producer.
I now lead the Los Angeles Production Region of a creative agency. My greatest strengths are as Writer-Producer, and my ability to pitch and sell creative has led to a focus on business development Enterprise wide and working directly with our west sales leaders to target and sell key accounts.
My creative abilities include writing and producing, direction, cinematography, post and management and my experience encompasses building brands and creative strategy. My specialty is storytelling. I have won over 25 national advertising awards including an Emmy nomination, was represented as a writer-director by the William Morris Agency and was a finalist in the Coca-Cola Refreshing Filmmakers Contest.
