About Me
LA\TV Director
I specialize in producing and directing non-fiction video and television productions. These include talk and interview programs, one-time special events, musical performances, and corporate and civic conferences and events.
My work has appeared on the commercial and public TV networks and stations, national cable, live broadcasts and streaming, home video, and corporate screens. I received an Emmy award for Outstanding Talk/Interview Program for an 89-episode series I produced and directed.
My clients have included American Medical International, Westwood One, Power106FM, Disney Home Video, The Disney Channel, the City of Los Angeles, Bank of America, the California Special Olympics, and The Oakwood School, to name a few. I have worked with Demi Lovato, William Shatner, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Alexander, Rhea Perlman, Van Halen, and many other celebrities.
