Executive Producer

I am a creative executive producer with two decades of managing integrated departments.
​
I grew up in the Northeast graduating from Boston College with a Bachelors in Communications.
​
My career started at DDB Chicago working on McDonalds and Anheuser-Busch. I was fortunate enough to win numerous industry awards while garnering several top 5’s on USA Today’s "Ad Meter" for Bud Light.
​
After ten years at DDB, I transitioned to Arnold Worldwide working on Titleist and Footjoy. Two years into that stint, Hill Holliday came knocking and I joined them as their Head of Production in 2002. I got to work right away, re-shaping the department and filling it with creative and passionate problem solvers.I opened an editorial division, which has expanded into a robust edit/finishing/vfx and animation collaborative. Recognizing the need to make content quickly and efficiently, I started hiring talented filmmakers who were also great editors to shoot and edit content for our clients. Seeing that ideas were pushing well beyond the traditional barriers, I opened an experiential arm of production, enabling us to not only respond, but contribute creatively to the non-traditional ideas our creative department was dreaming up.
I am honored to have been a part of work that's moved a nation, to have worked on 360 degree campaigns that delivered results, and to have been the architect of a successful film series of nearly 30 films, tapping into celebrity Hollywood directors. I enjoy the responsibilities that come with managing a department and love the ability to find and develop talent, but at the core I am a craftsman and creator.
​
Priority number one for me is partnering with creatives to make great channel agnostic work that moves the needle for clients. The word "no" does not exist in my vernacular and I work and I work relentlessly to build teams and source talent that inspire creatives and clients. As the business continues to evolve, I look forward to applying my vision to stay ahead of this evolution.
​
When I'm not creating work you can find me spending time with family, cycling, golfing, snowboarding, or surfing.
