I'm married, a proud dad to 2 nuclear-powered young boys, and have loved living in Brooklyn, New York for the past 9 years. When not working I can often be found at the movies watching something animated and claiming we're just there for the kids / shopping for another guitar pedal I don't need / watching literally any sport / unsuccessfully avoiding a bacon cheeseburger with extra jalapeños.
In my career I've been fortunate to have worked at some amazing places with many brilliant people, and in my 17+ years in the industry I've acquired a diverse skillset that has taken me on an incredibly exciting and rewarding journey. As an Executive Producer I've delivered integrated campaigns for global brands such as American Express and Pepsi, as well as culturally important organizations like the Ad Council. As a product manager I've made VR games for HBO and Marvel and created websites for Mailchimp and J.P. Morgan Chase; and as a VFX producer I have faced every type of technical and creative challenge imaginable.
The feedback I love receiving more than any other is that my teams feel like real teams. I put a great deal of focus on building harmonious working relationships and cultivating a trusting, creative working atmosphere in which talent can flourish. I believe that an empathetic, human-first approach to the work we do is the cornerstone of success, and it is also my belief that there should be no compromise on quality, and that any goal can be reached through solid process and intentional strategic planning.
Process is my nerdy passion, and I come packaged with systematic, methodical, goal-oriented planning chops that help me guide my teams to success while avoiding unnecessary chaos. All that while recognizing that sometimes a little chaos can be useful too!
If you're on a mission that could use some of what I bring, I'd love to start a conversation with you.
