Satan & Adam

Satan & Adam. Academy Award shortlisted. Netflix. I'm proud of that one.

It's the bar I hold everything to: authentic voices, unexpected worlds, stories that hit you somewhere you didn't expect.

Reconnected, my new documentary, has wrapped post and is ready for the world. I'm ready to build work at this level inside your company.

Jokes with joysauce

When I came to JoySauce, it was a website with one show. I helped turn it into a streaming network on Amazon Prime Video, Roku, and Plex, in over 200 million homes.

I built and showran JoySauce Late Night and, as executive producer, guided the slate from first idea to final cut: Jokes with JoySauce (Emmy shortlist), Team Tan, Mixed Six, Malika Travels, the Critics Choice AAPI Awards. Earlier: network television. Big Brother, The Mole, Fear Factor, Declassified for History.

The network's built. I've moved into advisory, ready to build the next one inside your company.

YEARS in

industry

30 years. 2,000+ commercials and brand films. Every major network.

I've made work for the Fortune 500: Microsoft, Amazon, Zulily. I ran the content division at GeekWire, produced their livestreams, and helped build GeekWire Studios alongside their team. Car brands. Celebrity campaigns. Conan, sexily washing his desk.

I've been in the room where the best brand storytelling gets made, and I know the difference between content that sells and content that sticks.

Usually, it's both.

Why Bring Me In-House

Every story has rules. I've spent thirty years learning them, so I know exactly when to break them. That's what I bring to a team, not just a project: the craft, and the nerve to push past the expected and find the thing that actually lands.

Film, television, brand — the medium changes, the standard doesn't. Most companies can make content. I build the operation that makes it matter, and I run it.
