I'm an Executive Producer/Director, a veteran of live participatory media and founder of Simplynew.

I'm passionate about producing content that creates a unified, real-time, global conversation between live audiences at home and on-site at events and broadcasts. I've directed GRAMMY Award-Winning artists, and produced and directed several pioneering "firsts" for the live participatory programming genre including Town Hall with President Clinton, Woodstock '99 and The Tibetan Freedom Festivals. Most recently, I've worked on Covered CA's Tell A Friend Get Covered, Allstate Fan Fest 2014, TWCS's 2ndScreen App, The X-Factor's Pepsi Digital Pre-Show and Second Screen Experience, IncubusHQ Live, GRAMMY LIVE!, Earth Day Network's Earth Day Live! Concert on the National Mall and MySpace LIVE! In 2011, I launched VidBlogger Nation, the first participatory media television channel in association with Comcast's X-Finity On Demand. My productions have been recognized by the Webby Awards, the Social TV Awards and the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

I'm a national board member and founding New York committee chair for the Producers Guild of America's New Media Council. I'm also a partner with Lifebeat - The Music Industry Fights AIDS, a member of the Global Advisory Committee for Earth Day Networks and a member of the GATE Leadership Council. Really enjoy surfing, biking and skate-boarding. Love pizza, bagels & good wine but probably not altogether.
