American History Studios - President/Executive Producer

  • I use my nation-wide contact list of shooters, editors and graphic artists to create world class media content for less.  

Discovery, Inc. - Vice President of Programming, Alternative Platforms

  • To keep network shows and on-air talent relevant in the expanding world of new viewing options, I was charged with the development and execution of new digital content marketing opportunities for the company's traditional TV networks.  I developed executable marketing strategies that pushed the boundaries, but still remained sensitive to the delicate TV network relationships.  I also used my strong relationships with all the digital stakeholders that represent both internal and external Discovery properties, ensuring front-and-center distribution of the content.

Scripps Networks - Director of Broadband Programming

  • Responsible for the strategic creation of digital video content for our networks, I formulated and executed the marketing plan to re-use our extensive media library as a resource.  With this initiative, we not only exposed our national network talent and shows to the online and social platforms, we also saved significant dollars by repurposing existing content.
