I build studios, lead control rooms, and get demanding productions to air. My 20+ years span Big Brother, Hell's Kitchen, studio leadership at Bunim/Murray, and on-set technical leadership for Apple product launches.
Two minutes on how I think about production, studios, and getting the shot.
Not a list of duties. What you actually get when I am in the chair.
Two decades shipping live and broadcast shows on schedule and on budget, and staying calm in the chair when the pressure is highest.
Nine broadcast studios built from the ground up, with the signal flow, robotics, and engineering to keep them running.
At Bunim/Murray I built an internal rental house that doubled our studio revenue and let us make shows the networks would not fund.
Python, StreamDeck, and Excel tools for inventory, call sheets, billing, and on-set control, so the crew can focus on the show.
Twenty-plus years is a lot of stories. Here are three that tell you how I work.
Directing a show the size of Hell's Kitchen is like flying a 747. Gordon Ramsay's energy runs through the whole crew and producers panic about missing a shot. I keep the calm in the control room so my team can do their best work. Steady beats loud, every time.
Running the AT&T Blue Room at Coachella, we failed the fire inspection right before doors. I found flame-retardant spray, passed it in twenty minutes, and we opened on time. I owned the whole thing, from the CAD drawings to trenching fiber across the polo field to the insurance with Goldenvoice.
At Bunim/Murray we were paying the value of our gear four times over every year in rentals. So I built an internal rental house. Owning the gear let us green-light shows the networks would not fund, including the award-winning Surviving R. Kelly on nearly zero budget. The department became a profit center.

Control room, engineering, and the systems that tie it together.
Beyond broadcast, I help YouTubers, podcasters, and media teams design studios and production systems their people can actually run.
Creator studio audits, studio design consulting, production workflow systems, and fractional head-of-production support, in Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, or remote.
Open to Technical Director, Studio Operations, and Executive Producer roles. Available now, in LA or San Jose, and ready to relocate for the right full-time seat.
