Background

I started out as a photojournalist and won a deadline award at Newsday for page design way back in the day, then got serious about fine art photography. I earned a fellowship to the Houston Center for Photography and had a solo show.

That early work, learning to see and tell stories visually, up close, shaped everything that came after.

I moved into documentary and episodic TV production and spent nearly two decades as an executive producer. I’ve worked across every format: hours, half-hours, episodic series, specials, feature films, short-form, micro-content, and written editorial.

That work reached over 2 billion viewers and earned an Emmy, along with other nominations and wins from the Emmys, GLAAD, Webby Awards, and Shorty Awards.

I’ve told stories from intimate, personal perspectives all over the world. A sumo heya in Tokyo. A Burmese refugee camp in Thailand. Green Bay, Wisconsin. New York City. The throughline has always been the same: get close, be curious and open, and bring people into something they wouldn’t otherwise see.

Too much critical work gets buried in jargon, academic framing, or messaging that only talks to insiders. I believe it deserves the widest audience possible and must reach beyond the people who already get it.

Today, I work full-time in the social impact space, building content operations from the ground up, evolving how organizations think about reaching people, and helping get important messages to broad audiences.
