Both Sides of the Camera

A Producer in the Host's Chair

Seven Telly Awards behind the camera means I host the way a producer thinks. I know what the control room needs, where the segment is headed, and how to hand your editors clean, usable takes.

Speaks Control Room

Countdowns, wraps and IFB cues
handled without missing a beat.

Thinks in Segments

Pacing built around breaks,
bumps and hard outs.

Protects the Edit

Clean ins and outs, smart pickups,
and takes your editor will thank you for.

Researched & Ready

Guests and topics studied
before the cameras roll.
