I am an award-winning visual storyteller, combining sight and sound to convey thought and evoke emotion. For nearly 30 years I’ve produced, written, directed, shot, edited, animated, composited, encoded, and published over a thousand videos for film, television, corporations and organizations large and small. I am expert at producing video communications that connect messages with audiences. Videos should connect with a viewer’s curiosity and humanity, and I strive to champion my characters and their stories. A video story that rings true with an audience is a powerful thing.

My journey began at UC Berkeley creating several student documentaries as part of my Mass Communications program. For many years I was the co-owner of a video production boutique in San Francisco serving corporate and broadcast clients, evolving my video editing, motion graphics and 3D animation skills. In the decade-plus since my arrival at PG&E as a video content producer I helped launch the PG&E brand journalism site  creating hundreds of videos since its inception in 2011 and have been involved in the creation of video storytelling for coworkers and customers alike.

When it comes to viral videos, I’ve had a funny commercial mocked on The Ellen Show (Slobbstopper), a promo for a futuristic desk workstation compared to a dentist’s chair (Altwork Station) and a utility news package watched millions of times on YouTube (electric transmission barehanding). My video art has been on display at countless festivals (including Burning Man) and large scale entertainment venues (such as SF Giants Oracle Stadium). Fortune 500 clients have included AT&T, Chevron, Cisco Systems, NetApp, Comcast, Xerox, and Amazon.
