Twenty-five years behind the lens and in the control room — from breaking news to championship broadcasts, documentary storytelling to brand video.
With over 25 years in Canadian television, I've built a career on the ability to tell compelling stories under pressure — live, in the field, and in post.
My background spans TV news, documentary, live sports broadcasting, and brand video production. I've worked across every role in the production chain — from the control room to the edit suite.
I bring broadcast-level discipline to every project, whether it's a major live event or an intimate corporate story.

Live production demands total command — of the room, the crew, the technology, and the story unfolding in real time.
From sports arenas to broadcast studios, I've been the person in the seat making those calls for over two decades.
A career in motion — coming soon.
The broadcast industry told an entire generation of TV professionals that the footage belonged to the network, not them. I followed the rules. Here's what that cost me — and what I'd tell every young producer today.
I wasn't always calm under pressure. Live sports production didn't give me composure — it forced me to find it. Here's what 25 years in the control room actually taught me about leading when everything is going wrong.
There's a specific kind of professional suffering that happens when the person above you feels threatened by your talent. Instead of mentorship, you get control. Instead of growth, you get restrictions. And slowly, you start to shrink.
