Whether it is securing a landing strip on the slope of a volcano in Hawaii, arranging for rain in an arid mountain village in Mexico, or simply getting the gardeners in Beverly Hills to turn off their leaf blowers, I rise to all production challenges with intelligence and integrity as well as with a sense of humor which leaves everyone working with me feeling delighted with the results.
I believe one of the hallmarks of a great commercial producer is the ability to
solve all different types of problems within a short amount of time and, in today's commercial world, sometimes with limited budgets. I make it my mission to do this do this with grace and skill.
What I love about my job is putting the puzzle pieces together and making them fit. I see the producer as the hub that connects clients and agency, directors and crew people and everyone else involved in creating a successful production. On every job I do, I gather a team of people, make sure
they have what they need to do the best possible job they can, and get everyone working together to achieve a common goal while staying both on budget and on schedule.
Management skills are critically important. I work with many talented people. I want them to feel like they are a part of a family and are consequently motivated to contribute their best efforts
to the success of our productions. Because of my commitment to my work, I take great pride in the amount of repeat business that we garner.
