Motion Picture and Television Director

I’m a sucker for the underdog and can’t stand still on an escalator. Besides these lovable though odd character traits, I have been making television for over 25 years and spend much of my time directing television news in Chicago, Illinois. In 2016, I was invited to join the Directors Guild of America while working in Los Angeles and actively take part in and support the DGA’s Director Development and Diversity initiatives. Growing up in a small midwestern town, I haven’t forgotten the value of hard work and integrity. I like to meld the magic of motion picture with the speed and efficiency of television. This philosophy gives my clients a beautiful deliverable, on time and on budget.
