Born and raised in a small town in Illinois, I started producing local shows at the age of 18. That early taste of production set me on a career path that has spanned over 25 + years and has given me the opportunity to work across multiple platforms with numerous clients and award-winning brands.
I tackle each project, big or small, with a confident and collaborative attitude to get the job done. I bring a deep understanding of technology, media and storytelling to every project. I’m passionate about elevating the work and I thrive on innovative thinking and creative challenges.
