About
I've been building video businesses since YouTube was two years old. In 2006, I co-founded Clevver Media — one of the platform's earliest and most successful media companies — growing it from zero to 35 employees, 1.6 billion views, and a successful acquisition.
What followed was a career spent at the intersection of media, technology, and audience. I ran the video business at Billboard and The Hollywood Reporter, scaling it to $12 million in annual revenue. I advised Ms. Rachel when she had 200,000 monthly views — today she has 300 million. I launched Smosh Games, which reached a million subscribers in 90 days. I led digital video at KQED, one of America's top PBS stations, and tripled their audience in a year.
I started my career working for producer Jerry Bruckheimer and hold a degree in Film Production and Business from the University of Southern California.
I take on a small number of engagements at a time — because the work I do requires genuine attention, not a templated approach.
Work Together
I work with a select number of clients at any given time. If you're serious about growing a video business, let's talk.
