I am the Executive Producer/Managing Director of Broadcast Production at David&Goliath Advertising in Los Angeles, California.
We create award winning content (Addy's, Clio's, Effie's, Cannes Short List, TBS World's Funniest Commercials, One Show Pencil, Nielsen Most Effective Ads, Shoot Magazine Spot of the Year, and a coveted PETA award for Kia Soul Hamsters "A New Way to Roll" among others) across all platforms such as TV, radio, cinema, digital, interactive, webisodes, mobile and augmented reality.
Current clients include Kia Motors America, The CA Lottery, Vizio, Universal Studios Hollywood and The Art Institute. Past client experience includes financial, toys, entertainment, fast food, travel, retail and fashion categories.
I have a proven track record for calmly delivering exceptional creative with high production value regardless of budget or schedule. If the creatives dream it I find a way to make it come true by leveraging relationships I've cultivated with directors, production houses, post houses, music supervisors, cost consultants and creatives. I've successfully navigated talent and customs challenges in both international and domestic productions. As Kanye says, "difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week."
My managerial skills have been honed by supervising, mentoring and inspiring artists, editors, creative producers of all levels, business affairs teams, traffic departments and in-house editing facilities.
It helps that I began in advertising as a copywriter where I developed empathy for the creative minds that allow us to exist in this endeavor. I've also been in account executive positions where I learned to speak Client fluently, served time as a production company "do whatever it takes" employee where I swept stage floors, provided craft service, line produced for directors, and also ran post production facilities. While at Tminus30 Films I also had the opportunity to function as project manager on a repurposed facility designed by famed architect Eric Owen Moss.
My background? According to my parents it started while I was a young tot in the playpen staring mesmerized at the commercials on TV and ignoring the programs. In more formal education I have a photography and sculpture M.F.A., a marketing/advertising and international finance B.S. and an A.A. in aviation/commercial piloting.
