I served as a Post Production Supervisor at Media Loft on seven web videos for Polaris Industries. As such I oversaw multiple editors working concurrently in multiple suites, scheduled and directed VO sessions while managing client approvals, deadlines and budgets.

The Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation and Colle McVoy invited me to Produce this fast moving inspirational piece that celebrates women who love to fish in an effort to reel in more female anglers to the sport. Officially launched on Mother's Day this was part of a national campaign and was the first of its kind to market fishing and boating exclusively to women.

What a great spot to produce for Majestic Athletic. And what a great concept. You get to wear David Ortiz without actually having to wear David Ortiz. Shot on location in Miami with Director Randy Hackett of No Smoke Films. I was Agency Producer on this one. Oh for the record, Mr Ortiz is 6'5" and weighs 265 lbs.

Cox Communications needed a spot to support the rollout of their new home security product. I engaged Director David Serota on this Cox spot for his tremendous talent in working with real people and creating heartfelt vignettes.

Shot on location in Los Angeles.

Andersen Windows asked us to tour the northeast coast talking to Architects, Builders and Retail Customers about their experience with Andersen Series 400 Windows. This web piece that I Produced and Directed for them was not among the original they commissioned but it was such a powerful story it had to be cut.

Creative's fall into one of two categories when it comes to shooting food. They either like it or they don't. I am one of the former. I love making food look good for the camera. The food shots were part of a six day shoot with David Deahl in Chicago to build a library of food footage for the client. The live action was filmed in Dallas with Director Ted Melfi (St.Vincent). This was one of a six spot campaign from which countless pizza/price versions were cut.
