Bio:
I started my career in the mailroom at William Morris Endeavor, and have worked at the intersection of entertainment and technology ever since. I was most recently at Comcast Spectacor, leading business development for the sadly ill-fated reboot of G4TV. Previous to that, I was consulting for FBC/Bento Box Entertainment on their Web3 initiative, Blockchain Creative Labs, across business development and content strategy and development.
I have worked on both the buy and sell side of entertainment, and I have packaged projects with a variety of talent, including the Migos, Faze Clan, Film45 (Pete Berg), Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, and an original short for LA LA LAND with Lionsgate.
At Caffeine, I worked as a live TV producer and talent manager, producing two series with hip-hop superstar Offset. This included all episodes of the flagship show BET WITH SET, such as from the Super Bowl in January 2020. I also produced a Sunday night chat show, hosted by Andy Richter, about Animation Domination with Fox. We’ve had great guests like Al Jean, Yeardley Smith, H. Jon Benjamin and Loren Bouchard and were covered in the New York Times and the New York Post. I am also very proud to have developed and produced the first ever cooking show on Caffeine, WORST COOKING SHOW EVER, with Fox Sports’ Rachel Bonnetta.
During COVID19, I organized a CALL OF DUTY: WARZONE tournament that raised $6K for the World Health Organization and was picked up by The Hollywood Reporter.
As a producer, I won “Best Music VR Experience” at the Lumiere Awards 2018 for a music video produced with Interscope Records. I also produced a short with Fine Brothers Entertainment that earned a Streamy Award nomination in 2017. My proudest achievement was doing the deal to send the first-ever 360-degree camera into space. It was to be used to film the interior of the International Space Station.
I have spoken on several panels and podcasts, including at the YouTube Space LA for their VR Series; the Emmy foundation; and the Digital Hollywood Speaker Series; and I am proud member of the PGA.
