Summary
I’m a video producer and editor who loves making content that people can’t scroll past—whether that’s fast-paced comedy, sleek branded campaigns, or even help make Pterodactyls in Sony’s Terrordactyl. As Senior Video Producer at Circa (under David Zucker of Airplane! fame), I led ambitious projects on tight deadlines, and I’ve since created work for Taco Bell, Subway, Cracked.com, Letgo, and Wall of Comedy with Joivan Wade (Doom Patrol). I bring a full creative toolkit—Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, directing, writing, design, and animation—plus the organizational chops to keep complex projects sharp, polished, and on time. Currently I direct a weekly music show that reaches over eight thousand weekly viewers.
