Description

I'm a field and story producer in documentary/docu-series/reality TV, and I've also been a producer/production manager on commercials. I spent years as a TV news anchor and reporter so I have superb interview skills. I'm also a strong leader directing talent and crews in the field. I'm skilled at identifying and building interesting story arcs and I have extensive background creating a wide variety of stories, writing scripts and leading logistics. I have strong Utah connections and am great at managing budgets. I pride myself on being a polished, warm and personable producer who loves finding solutions to problems. I'm a team player who pays strong attention to detail and thrives in a deadline environment.
