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.

Seasoned entertainment executive with 15+ years experience in sales, talent representation and development. Founder of Rewind Artists, a boutique management and production company with bases in Los Angeles and New York representing actors, writers and directors in the film and television industry across the globe. I have produced both scripted and unscripted content with A-list talent and production companies and understand the complexities of leading a project from inception to greenlight. I am looking forward to helping you navigate the entertainment space and provide business development strategies or project support. While I appreciate the interest, I am not seeking new talent representation clients, commission-based arrangements, unpaid partnerships, or speculative opportunities through Upwork. Engagements should be structured as consulting, advisory, producing, sponsorship, business development, or strategic project work. If you're looking for experienced guidance, industry insight, relationship development, packaging support, sponsorship strategy, distribution consulting, or production expertise, I'd be happy to discuss how I can help.
