LOS ANGELES, USA // To quote the Canadian Philosopher, Drake, 'Started from the bottom now we here'. Began as an intern at this incredible Company and Department as an intern a long time ago...Did almost every job in the department from being a creative, to mastering and versioning spots, and everything in between.

All of that experience has allowed me to become a seasoned industry professional with over 29 years (good grief) of experience in one of the most recognized and decorated groups in the entertainment industry, FOX Sports Marketing.

As the Senior Executive in charge of Creative and Execution of Multi-Platform Marketing Campaigns for the On-Air Promotions Group at FOX Sports, I’m able to impact performance of the final product through implementation of expert strategic marketing targeting diverse audiences, partnership development with leagues, teams, athletes/celebrities and their representation, sponsors, production partners, etc., all while keeping the ultimate goals of delivering a high end product that creates awareness and drives ratings in the most time and cost efficient manner possible.

Flexible and versatile – which is fancy for saying 'when the ish hits the fan', combine sophisticated creative sensibilities with savvy production expertise in overseeing the day-to-day workflow for our group. Excellent leader who earns respect with the ability to provide staff with resources and motivation to achieve goals. Quickly analyze and diffuse tough situations (see ish hitting the fan from above) on the fly while diplomatically dealing with a variety of personalities.

I keep it light; we could be doing much worse things with our careers. Can find the appropriate movie quote or South Park episode for almost any situation...Past and present video game junkie who can still recite every lyric to Posse on Broadway, so do with that info what you will :) Formerly a tortured Philly Fan (Shout out Nick Foles) whose friends’ sports teams are far more successful than mine.

Been a helluva ride that I'm very fortunate to still be on...
