With 17+ years in the trenches at all levels of experiential production, I’ve mastered the art of turning ideas into unforgettable moments. Whether it’s a brand story that pops, logistics that run smoother than your morning coffee order, or production designs that leave jaws on the floor, I make the complex look easy and the impossible look inevitable.Currently Director of Production at Tinsel, I'm always interested in hearing about consulting projects and other engagements.[email protected]

I’ve been producing and directing since I was 8, though back then it was backyard plays and karaoke musicals. (Critics were tough, but the lemonade sales were strong.) Fast forward to today, and creating transformative experiences—for audiences and the teams making them—is still my thing. It’s not just a job; it’s a calling. And let’s be clear: how we work matters just as much as what we deliver.With 17+ years in the trenches at all levels of experiential production, I’ve mastered the art of turning ideas into unforgettable moments. Whether it’s a brand story that pops, logistics that run smoother than your morning coffee order, or production designs that leave jaws on the floor, I make the complex look easy and the impossible look inevitable.I’ve partnered with dream teams to pull off industry-firsts in both B2B and B2C spaces, crafting experiences that connect, inspire, and (let’s be honest) make everyone look really good. My secret sauce? A killer network, a knack for spotting challenges before they derail, and the belief that every production is an opportunity to build something extraordinary—and have fun learning new things while doing it.I’m the kind of person who knows the best vendors, the sharpest talent, and how to make a budget stretch without skimping on the wow factor. Think of me as a conductor who turns a talented orchestra into a symphony that hits all the right notes.
