I’m a writer/producer/director with a degree in Visual Arts from the University of California, San Diego. While in school, I worked as a children's fencing instructor. I think it’s fair to say that anyone who can handle twenty kids with swords can probably handle anything. Proving this, I’ve managed million dollar budgets, written 17 episodes of the TV show “Can’t Get a Date” for VH1 and have produced numerous spots for clients like ESPN, Animal Planet, the NFL, Food Network, History, Lifetime, WE tv, Tru tv, PBS, Discovery Kids and Grey Advertising.
