Hello. I’m a highly cross-disciplinary Media & Entertainment technology leader adept at managing Olympic-scale Technical Production including venue planning, logistics, build-out and operations. Driven by innovation and curiosity, I'm also a highly effective Product Manager focused on new emerging media products and services, all via excellent organizational and collaborative methods and integrity. 

In addition to six Olympic broadcast projects and contract engineering, I've owned a laser show production company, lead a US broadcast network's first interactive streaming initiatives, been a freelance videographer, and volunteer for STEM & robotics education, and more.

Currently reporting to ENCO Systems, Inc. president, I focus on product management for AI-based broadcast & entertainment automation software, application engineering, R&D, strategic partnerships, write much of their product, marketing and thought pieces and present, and lead their Virtual Production offering.
