So here's the honest version, from the beginning.
I started as an actor. Trained at a conservatory in New York. Then a professor told my entire class we weren't going to make it. I locked myself in a bathroom stall and believed him for a while.
But I didn't leave storytelling. I doubled down. Studied production. Took every job that kept me close to the craft. PA, unpaid intern more times than I'd like to admit, and yes, a certified master electrician wiring stage lights nobody would ever notice unless they failed. Zero glamour. All the education.
Eventually I found producing. First in traditional media, then almost by accident into podcasts and YouTube, where I spent four years running weekly shows for a production network and learned what it actually takes to hold a show and the people making it.
Along the way I made myself a promise: I will never be the person who makes someone feel small in a room I'm running.
I've been the actor crying in the bathroom. The crew member nobody looks at twice. The talent trusting strangers to make me look good on camera. The producer holding the whole thing together in the background.
I came up through a few different seats, and that range shapes how I lead a room, how I talk to talent, how I show up for a crew. It's a difference you feel more than you see.
The other thing that shapes me is where I came from. I trained inside traditional media before I ever touched the creator economy. Which means I bring a discipline for editorial rigor, format development, and operational systems that most creator-native producers are still figuring out. I hold the editorial and the operational at the same time. Most producers pick one. My whole practice is built on doing both.
Underneath all of it, I'm obsessed with stories. The way a well-told one can quietly shift how someone sees themselves, or their neighbor, or the world.
If that sounds like the kind of producer you want in your room, come find me.
