Selected Original Creations

WALK OF SHAME SHUTTLE

VH1 | 13-Episode Direct-to-Series Order

We gave people walking home from a one-night stand a free ride. All they had to do was tell us their story.

More about the project

The project received four competing offers before selling to VH1.

ART HOSTAGE

Esquire Network | Sold

Inside the world of stolen art, where an intermediary connects the criminal underworld and authorities to recover stolen masterpieces.

HARDCORE HOBBIES

National Geographic Channel | Six-Episode Order

When collecting goes from passion to obsession, it's time for an intervention.

Television Creator. Producer. Development Executive.

Apparently, I'm not
out of ideas yet.

My career has taken me from production at Telepictures to development at Game Show Network (GSN), where I served as Director of Development, and later to JLTV, where I oversaw scheduling and acquisitions while developing and packaging original programming.

I'm still creating, developing, and pitching original television formats.

Among other things

There's more
to the story.

My daughter calls me Barbie. Apparently, I've done it all — from flying planes and even jumping out of them to building houses, collecting things I probably didn't need, and occasionally finding myself in situations that made for pretty good stories.
