About

Overview

I'm a multidisciplinary creative director, producer, and systems architect working at the intersection of cinematic storytelling, broadcast engineering, and global music production. My work spans senior engineering and product roles at NESN, Panasonic USA, Sony Electronics, Orad Hi-Tec Systems, WLVI-TV, and FastChannel Network — environments where precision, speed, and narrative clarity matter.

I build systems and stories. That means stadium-scale anthems, multilingual music, XR-ready narratives, and high-reliability production pipelines that bring creative ideas to life. I thrive in spaces where artists, engineers, designers, and executives need a shared language and I often become the bridge that makes the impossible feel inevitable.

Before expanding into creative technology, my career in broadcast engineering and media innovation included senior roles: Senior Manager of Engineering at NESN, Senior Sales Engineer, Project Director, and Product Specialist at Panasonic USA, and Regional Sales Director at Orad Hi-Tec Systems. My contributions to the field were recognized with the NAB AIM Award for Innovation in Content Delivery.

Across every discipline, my work is defined by curiosity, technical fluency, and a drive to build meaningful, human-centered futures.
