ABOUT

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER/PRODUCER

I grew up in Beaverton, Oregon home to Nike and also home to a lot of rain.  It didn’t always rain but when it did, I spent my days watching old movies, drawing and writing.  I have always loved stories, art, and been drawn to those who think differently, painting outside the lines.  It became a passion of mine to bring creative visions to life.

Over my career I have been fortunate to produce shoots for everything from stunts to live concerts as well as VFX, design, experiential and real-time projects in Unreal and Unity.  Being a nerd at heart, I turned my attention to combining the shoot with what can be augmented through technology.

I cut my teeth in VFX at Digital Domain and oversaw special projects as Supervising Producer at Mirada.  I have been an Executive Producer at Brand New School, Kevin and most recently Zoic Studios.

In 2019 I was part of a real time automotive startup pioneering work in Rule-Based Coding that leveraged use of RPO codes (“option codes”) in consumer-facing car configuration.  This technology essentially allows customers to source their configured vehicle for purchase, down to the VIN number.

I never lost the love of producing and as an Executive Producer I can get my hands dirty on the day to day then elevate to 30,000 feet looking at creative and business strategy.  Every person, company and brand have a story and engaging with people to visualize these journeys is what drives me.

When I’m not working, I can be found playing video games with my son, traveling to Hawaii to visit my daughter, surfing and trying not to get smashed as a white belt in jiu jitsu.
