Owner / Executive Producer

About

I’m an Executive Producer with more than two decades of experience leading complex productions across television, live events, branded content, and digital media. Much of my career has been spent building and running large-scale productions — including serving as Executive Producer and Showrunner on Food Network’s Restaurant: Impossible, a 22-season franchise with more than 190 episodes filmed across the country. Over the years I’ve led multi-department crews, managed multi-million-dollar budgets, and delivered programming that has reached millions of viewers. In recent years my work has expanded into experiential events, brand activations, and digital-first content, producing projects for clients including Amazon, Comcast, NBCUniversal, Range Rover, and the NFL. I’ve also created channels and built production pipelines for YouTube, social, and podcast platforms — scaling content across multiple brands while maintaining strong creative standards. What I enjoy most about the work is taking big creative ideas and figuring out how to actually make them happen. I bring together creative teams, technical partners, vendors, and clients to build the production frameworks that move projects from concept through execution. Live production inevitably comes with chaos, and one of the things colleagues and clients consistently value about working with me is that I stay calm, steady, and solutions-focused when things get complicated. At the end of the day, I love helping teams turn strong ideas into experiences audiences connect with — whether that’s a television series, a live event, or a piece of digital content. Always happy to connect with producers, creative leaders, and collaborators working across television, experiential production, and branded storytelling.
