I began my career by earning both a B.F.A in Design from the California College of the Arts and an M.F.A. from the Department of Theater, Film and Television at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Upon graduation from UCLA, my first notable professional position was Research Supervisor and Assistant Director on the Emmy-award winning mini-series MGM: When the Lion Roars.

In 1991, I joined the sports-oriented advertising agency Creative Impact. In my capacity as Creative Director, I served as in-house producer, director and writer for the agency’s print and television productions.

Two years later, I served as Line Producer and Post Supervisor for the feature documentary, In Search of Dr. Seuss (starring Robin Williams, Christopher Lloyd, Patrick Stewart and Billy Crystal) which ultimately garnered seven Primetime Emmy Award nominations in 1995.

I then formed Eleventh Day Entertainment with producer/director Frank Martin. Since its inception, Eleventh Day has been an Award winning and critically acclaimed, multi-faceted production company having produced numerous corporate, commercial, government and interactive productions as well as over 100 hours of primetime network and cable broadcast programs. Among them are the two-hour Tiffany Network special, CBS: The First Fifty Years, the six-part documentary series Sex, Censorship & the Silver Screen which was hosted by hosted by Raquel Welch, and the one-hour TBS special hosted by Billy Crystal, Warner Bros: 75 Years of Laughter.

In 2005, I directed the feature length documentary film entitled, Mr. K. Hosted by Academy award-winning actor Chris Cooper, and featuring an on-camera introduction by President George W. Bush, this biographical film tells the inspirational story of self-made billionaire, Kansas City Royals owner and entrepreneurial philanthropist, Ewing Kauffman. The film ultimately garnered a number of awards including two Emmys for both directing and writing.

Eleventh Day is currently producing For Love of Liberty: The Story of America’s Black Patriots. Hosted by Academy Award Winner, Halle Berry and introduced by former Secretary of State Colin Powell, this four-hour film acknowledges the sacrifices and accomplishments of African-American service men and women from the Revolutionary War until the present day.

In addition to producing and directing projects my key function at Eleventh Day has been long-term strategic planning and overseeing day to day corporate operations. Over the years I have served in various leadership roles on over $50,000,000 of media production.

Most recently, I have embarked on what has thus far been the most personally rewarding journey of my career. In 2007, I co-founded Infinite Loop Media, LLC with my colleague Richard Tavener. The company’s mantra is” promote creative thinking” and that’s just what we’re doing. Our joint interest in education as it relates to creativity, innovation and media literacy is clearly the driving force behind this endeavor. I am proud to say that we are currently working with colleagues at Stanford University, MIT, the National Academy of Engineering, the National Science Foundation, The Smithsonian, The Getty Center, and other highly respected institutions around the world to produce imagine it!, an international, open-source media project which focuses on the grand challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. Imagine it! is the first step in realizing our grand vision of building an entire new-media network based on the themes of creativity and innovation.

Last but not least, I utiillze my experience and resources to perform media production, consulting and intelligent new media communications services for select projects and organizations.
