Summary

After several years in film and television, my professional background includes: director, producer, and writer of many stage plays and short films. My specialties are writing and directing. I'm a former production manager at CW13 WGSA in Savannah, GA. While employed there, I shot, edited, and produced commercials for local businesses. I also created, wrote and directed CW13's first original drama, "Executives". This show aired locally in 2014. "Executives" also aired in Atlanta, GA on People TV, a public access station. In additions to my vocational career, I've worked in ministry throughout my life. I've worked as a musical director and lead pastor within thriving churchs.
