Don’t tell them.
Put them in it.

I started in film. I still think in scenes: where you enter, what catches your eye, when something unexpected happens.

Today those scenes might fill the Atrium at Sphere, put you inside a Transformers story, or turn a bus into the safe house from Bird Box. I shape the idea, direct the work and lead the team through the details that make it feel real.

I’m currently VP, Experiential at EXstudios in Los Angeles.

Have a project in mind?

Let’s buildwhat’s next.

Have something in mind? A place, a film, an idea you haven’t quite figured out yet. I’d like to hear it.
