I make videos for brands. I have spent my career launching new media (TV, streaming, app) businesses, building teams and creating brands. I was a creative director and marketing executive at numerous television networks, including Oprah Winfrey Network, Food Network, HGTV, Pac-12 Sports Networks, Fine Living and more. I was based in New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco for many years. I now live in Texas.
Currently I consult with media brands to help build brand structure and content strategy.
Most recently I was EVP, Content Studio for TMA, an Omnicom agency whose clients include Frito Lay, State Farm, Advance Auto, Morgan Stanley, Quaker, Goodyear and others.
I have been a guest speaker at OTIS School of Design, Portfolio Center and Texas State University School of Mass Communication. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin and pursued executive education through Omnicom University at Babson College and Harvard Business School.
My CV is here. I am also an abstract painter. I explore where the recognizable begins to unravel. Unsettled, energetic, textured, unstable. I have been a lifelong creator, through charcoal, acrylic, oil, pastel and video.
