After a lifetime of helping others tell compelling stories, it's time to tell some of my own.

I still help people develop effective, enjoyable and entertaining presentations about their businesses, artistic endeavors and social or political passions, but I'm also developing a series of my own short subjects about characters' passionate pursuit of their goals even in the face of seemingly overwhelming obstacles.

As a producer, I have a reputation for making things happen.

Whatever the project may be, I see the big picture of what needs to happen to accomplish the vision, the resources needed, the challenges to be faced, the follow-through required, and the opportunities to be created.

Organizing the many facets of complex endeavors is one of my strengths.

Aside from my recent and growing list of directorial projects, I have been driving the business side of Debi's growing art business, EncoureArts.com. Built on the foundation of our photographic partnership, I collaborate with Debi on getting her unique fine art work into galleries, adapted to a growing number of products, and publicized to an expanding audience of collectors.

From 2001 to 2009, I produced a series of sixty high-end private musical events renowned for their production values, the caliber of the artists presented, and the overall quality of the audience experience.

In a previous life, I was the Executive Director of a not-for-profit technology organization which convened twice-annual four-day conferences in coordination with major manufacturers and the tradeshows related to their products. Part of my responsibilities included making sure these events were productive, profitable, and well-attended.

I am currently developing a number of projects to be produced independently. To learn more, get in touch!
