31 Years of Experience in

LIVE Television & Events

For the past thirty-one years, beginning at the age of 20, I’ve had the privilege of working with world-class production teams, legendary celebrity talent, compelling executive-level political figures, as well as twenty-nine Fortune 500 companies.

With this extensive experience from over three decades of LIVE Broadcasts and Events, I passionately strive to consistently provide affable, creative and tech-savvy service under all circumstances.
