I'm a highly-experienced scriptwriter, editor and TV, film and video producer with a track record of writing and producing projects that attract an audience and get results. I specialize in explainers, corporate films, non-profit videos, TV series, and other message-driven content. I was the creator and EP of the documentary series "NHL Trophy Case" for NHL Network, and was the producer, director, and writer for the series "Cash Cab" on Discovery Channel, which became one of the most successful TV series of the 2000s. I won three Emmy Awards for my work on that series. I've also produced reality series for MTV, MSNBC and others. I've produced and written videos and short films for corporations, non-profits, and other organizations such as Apple, Informatica, Palo Alto Networks, SoftServe Infragistics, Humane Society of the United States, CP Capital, University of Redlands, and dozens of other start-ups, brands and other organizations. I specialize in clever - sometimes comedic - wording and concepts, I know how to create and build a message-driven video, and have deep production knowledge as well as a large list of connections in the industry. I work closely with clients to create and develop concepts, write video scripts, design storyboards and then produce, direct and ultimately deliver highly effective videos and films. I'm incredibly talented, driven, and have a unique background that can make your project rise above the others. My clients include Apple, Palo Alto Networks, Informatica, SoftServe, Jivox, Appen, Feathery, Adobe, and others.

I'm just a dude that really loves movies, film making, and every fun and annoying facet of the creative process. Writing, filming, editing, compositing. I started self-teaching at 15 with Adobe Premiere, making short films. I went to Chattahoochee Technical College to study Design & Media for a year until the money ran out. Since then I've done years of freelance work.

I am a producer, cinematographer, and editor. I love to help people plan their visions, then execute them to the highest level. I have experience filming red carpets at award shows such as the Oscars, Emmys, and Critics Choice Awards as well as several high-profile movie premieres, including The Fabelmans, Nope, and Avatar. I have well-rounded technical expertise in all sides of production, from camera to audio recording and editing, making me a great asset at properly planning productions as well as quickly troubleshooting a wide variety of issues that can arise at the last minute. My technical skill combined with my creative vision, delivers exceptional results every time. My diverse portfolio showcases my ability to adapt to various styles and settings, ensuring your project stands out. My latest documentary short, "Cold World," premiered at the Sunscreen Film Festival in Florida in April 2024, Chico Film Fest in November 2024, and the Toronto International Womens Festival in May 2025. I served as a Co-Producer and Director of Photography for the web series "EffYou50's." I was listed in The Hollywood Reporter in May of 2024 as a media sponsor for the 2024 Power of Women Summit at The Members Club during the Cannes Film Festival.

Here to help take your script or idea to the next level! With a decade’s worth of experience as a script reader for companies such as The Black List, Andrew Lauren Productions, The Donners’ Company, Coverfly, Shore Scripts, and many more, I bring extensive knowledge of scriptwriting to any project. Working in development has allowed me to understand what makes a project stand out and how to get it to the point of selling. Whether that be editing your project, providing feedback, or adding my own writing to your idea, I will be happy to be a collaborative partner and add complete professionalism from start to finish. Having spent a long period of my career in development, I have shifted my focus more toward my own writing. This has allowed me to see tremendous success in my own projects, with my psychological thriller, THRESHOLD, ranking in the top lists on The Black List for the genre. It has received glowing reviews, calling it “hard to put down,” “leaves us on the edge of our seats,” and one reader stated that “Because this script is so well written, it feels as if it could be a strong calling card for the writer.” Outside of my own writing, I have also helped numerous clients ghostwrite and punch up their scripts. This work has spanned all different genres and mediums, from noir to comedy to thrillers and dramas, including work in TV, Film, Podcasts, and YouTube. I am a highly adaptable writer and have the right experience to make any project stand out. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions about rate or turnaround times. Thanks for reading, and I hope to work together soon!
