About me

I’m a seasoned Showrunner with worlds of experience and creative energy. My specialty is story -- capturing lives in the moment and turning them into dramatic, highly-rated entertainment. I’ve been nominated for seven Emmys.

I’ve overseen National Geographic’s American Genius, Really Wild Animals and Tales from the Wild; Investigation Discovery’s Bad Blood and Dates from Hell; Evolve and multiple museum installations for History Channel; and PBS’s Stephen Hawking’s Universe, Exploring Time and History Detectives.

I’ve written six children’s books and 50+ Explorer segments for National Geographic; and episodes of NOVA and Nature. I currently teach Dramatic Screenwriting at NYU’s SCPS.

I come in on budget, on story and on schedule, while keeping the drama on screen. I've created successful series and leapt in with enthusiasm on existing franchises across genres, and up and down the scale of ambition and budget. I have a great team of talented folks who love to staff my projects. Above all, I'm very responsive to the on-going needs of the client and my production company execs.

Looking forward to meeting!
