Bad Idea Puppets 
Cisco

Director

This one was a blast. It was a short piece that played between segments at Cisco’s biggest event of the year. The producer came to me with a crew, a script, and one big question: how to bring sock puppets to life on screen. I had never worked with puppets before, but I was up for the challenge. I focused on making it visually strong and rhythmically tight while trusting the client’s instincts on tone. In the end, it was called out as a highlight of the show.

THE PRODUCER


Senior Creative Producer and Cinematographer with a track record of delivering high-impact content for social, paid, and broadcast. I can do it all, from working in the field as a one-person crew to leading full-scale productions, studio builds, and strategic oversight. At eBay, I built and now run the in-house studio, managing creative from concept to delivery. My experience spans commercial campaigns, corporate storytelling, and episodic television. I bring a sharp eye, a calm presence, and a flexible approach to every project I take on.
THE PERSON


Bay Area native who started making videos in middle school, cutting skate tapes with a borrowed camcorder and two VCRs. In high school I leaned into video production, then joined the United States Air Force and served as an air traffic controller at Yokota Air Base in Tokyo. After the military, I went to film school and graduated valedictorian. I’m into live music, creative side projects, and keeping good company with close friends, and family. I don’t mind pressure, I figure things out fast, and I’m always up for whatever comes next.
