I’ve spent nearly two decades working across TV broadcasts and docuseries, live events, sports, brand activations, and journalism. I’m someone who builds the plan, manages the people, the logistics, and the budget, and makes sure the things actually get made. Doing so calmly, even when it gets complicated. (I also referee ice hockey, which is either a natural extension of my professional experience or a bizarre coincidence!)

On the Side

Since college, I’ve worked as an ice-hockey official across all levels from youth through adult leagues, as well as appearing in junior and NCAA games, with the highest USA Hockey certification available (Level 4)—because a job feels less like work when you’re wearing ice skates!
