About

I love telling stories with video and design, and have a passion for photography and technology. I create video advertising and marketing for social media, brand marketing, broadcast advertising, ecommerce, and corporate communications. I am a member of the Directors Guild of America and produce content through my studio, Brighter. I also consult  as an independent director, editor, and creative director for larger advertising agencies.

I began my career as a part of the editorial team who created the first wave of TV shows for MTV (The Real World, House of Style, MTV Sports). I quickly moved into advertising, editing many award-winning projects for companies like Fallon, Wieden Kennedy, and HBO.

But my career in advertising actually began a little further downtown than the offices of MTV, creating flyers for fledgling NYC punk rock bands (including my own). Buy me a coffee or settle in to an edit room and I’ll share stories of CBGB, A7, and City Gardens or my later exploits making music videos for P Diddy, Matt and Kim, and even Michael Jackson.

I have recently created commercials for Hertz, Public-Rec, and Kia, and  Emmy award winning  television marketing for the Disney Channel.

Outside of work I am a bonafide music junkie, but unfortunately a pretty dorky music consumer.  I can tell you all about who recorded what with who, and at which studio.  But ask me to cue up a song and you’ll likely head for the door. My playlist is littered with bands like Wilco, Gram Parsons, and even the Grateful Dead. Try not to hold it against me.
