About
Since getting involved in media production as co-founder of the Evolving Media Network in 2000—the first in many media/arts collectives I helped organize—I have built numerous cross-platform narratives, utilizing the mediums best suited to the task. I believe that the best ideas rarely occur in isolation.
I'm the author of numerous books, scripts, articles and essays, some of which have been required curriculum in undergraduate courses.
My creative management philosophy focuses on finding and emphasizing the strengths of team members, and recognizing that meeting the challenge of the future often means throwing "normal" out the window.
I'm enthusiastic to meet other creatives as well as clients that can benefit from my experience and unique perspective.
