ABOUT

EXECUTIVE PRODUCER • STEEL CITY SOUL SESSION & SOCIAL CURVE TV • MEDIA GURU • ENTREPRENEUR • INNOVATOR • DREAMER • PITTSBURGH KID

I am a two-time graduate of Robert Morris University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Television/Video Production and a Master of Science in Instructional Leadership.

I started my career in video production as a production assistant with Steeltown Entertainment Project in the fall of 2010 and stayed through winter of 2011, working alongside the staff to serve as an assistant editor on their feature-length documentary films. I also aided in the educational aspect of the non-profit, traveling to various high-schools to teach students the basics of documentary filmmaking and video production.

After a brief tenure at Steeltown Entertainment Project, I advanced to the position of videographer/editor at the City of Pittsburgh where I worked in the city's Cable Bureau, the public access channel for local government. I was responsible for the production and programming of all content on the channel, including city council meetings and informational broadcasts.

In that same stretch of time, I started my first production company which taught me many valuable lessons about business and friendships. I closed the doors to one business opportunity and quickly began work on the next.

If anything, I learned that is not enough to have a Plan B or Plan C, you have to cover the entire alphabet and then you still need to have a backup plan for those plans.
