Inspired by makers, innovators and the human experience…

and, I love horror films…

I am a multi-disciplinary Creative Producer with almost 15 years of experience in branded content and production. Since 2017, I’ve been focusing my attention on writing and directing branded stories through film. I’m a co-founder and Creative Director of Southend, and head writer and director on most live-action Southend productions.

I also created, produced and directed a YouTube series called Atlanta Makers.

I won’t say I have much free time these days, but when I’m not working I’m usually spending quality time with my wife, Tori, and kiddos—we have three under 5 currently so it’s a bit chaotic at home.

If you’re into podcasts, I also have a couple of those. I am a co-creator and co-producer of The Brothers Grim podcast and creator and producer of my own It’s On My List podcast…all for mindless fun!
