I am a creative and a strategist, a director and a producer. Music, specifically the music industry in Nashville and Los Angeles, has been very kind to me. It’s provided a creative career and a living for my family, life-long friendships, memories, milestones and bucket-list firsts. I’ve traveled the world with legends and next-wave stars, telling impactful, emotional stories, building their brands and expanding their audiences, while following the music to surprising places to entertain fans all over the globe.
I have run my own businesses, founded and invested in successful startups, reported to boards of directors and network c-suites. I have produced and directed television series, concerts, music videos, and documentaries. I have been a network showrunner, managing large teams of entertainment production and post-production professionals.
I have worked with global brands and their agencies, negotiated talent deals with superstars and emerging influencers, and created award-winning content. Recently my work has centered around branded content, influencer marketing, and media strategies. I have a passion for innovation: to make my teams more innovative, and our content more engaging and entertaining. We know that data and content strategy is key to making sure the creative work we sweat and bleed so hard to make is actually seen by as many people as possible. And I believe we are experiencing an innovative moment in how content can impact an artist, a brand, or a story. The mix of artists, technology, social media levers, audience, and “want-to” points to opportunities for explosive growth at every level, with measurable results that help us make it even better the next time.
I always want to be a part of what happens next, looking forward not back. Good is the enemy of great, so let’s keep pushing.
