PROFILE

Throughout my career I have produced award-winning projects for global agencies, brands and production companies. Everything from large-scale experiential activations, helicopter stunts, and multi-million dollar commercials, to cutting edge XR, VR & AR projects and live music events for tens of thousands of people in the middle of the desert. Over the years I have built relationships with some of the world’s top production talent, helping me assemble an A-list of producers, creatives, storytellers, contractors, vendors, agencies and virtually any resources needed to bring a creative idea to life.

My home is San Francisco, but my work is global. I am co-founder & president of DISTRIKT 501c3 nonprofit, an organization that produces music and arts events globally, and co-founder of DISTRIKT Sound, a dance music record label also providing event & artist management. When I’m not busy working, I spend my time playing House music, surfing and snowboarding.
