ABOUT

I’m a Jackson Wild Media Award-winning, twice Webby Award-nominated (two Webby Honorees, too), and three-time Vimeo Staff Pick-recognized director, editor, videographer, animator, and reporter. My short films have screened at the Other Worlds Austin SciFi Film Festival, Wild & Scenic Film Festival, International Wildlife Film Festival, and Jackson Wild Media Awards. I’ve made over 75 short films and videos, which have totaled over 12 million views.

For over a decade, I’ve worked in journalism, video, TV, radio, museums, education, and parks. I’ve made videos, infographics, and written articles for Popular Science (where I was the Head of Video, Editorial & Branded for five years), PBS Digital Studios, PBS Nature, The Field Museum’s educational YouTube series The Brain Scoop, Science Friday, Brooklyn-based Pioneer Works Science Studios, Columbia Climate School, Wildlife Conservation Society, National Park Service, the Dreyfus Foundation’s Chemistry Shorts project, Museum of the Moving Image, The Guardian, Quanta Magazine, New-York Historical Society, Thrillist, American Masters, History Detectives, PBS NewsHour, Wide Angle, and a bunch of other public media shows. Also, I’ve developed media strategies for Pioneer Works and Johns Hopkins University. My YouTube game plan for Popular Science resulted in the growth of 50,000 subscribers and millions of views.

Some random facts: For History Detectives, I found and authenticated the lost guitar Bob Dylan “went electric with” at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival. It was the show’s most watched episode ever and the guitar later sold for one million bucks. It’s a funny story that you should definitely ask me about sometime. For an American Masters film about Woody Guthrie, I produced a YouTube-based UGC project collecting hundreds of submissions of people singing “This Land is Your Land.” Bonnie “Prince” Billy—wearing a ski mask—randomly sent in a cover. At the time, it was PBS’s most successful crowdsourcing project.

I’ve taught and developed STEM media-making curriculum for New York University and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

I’ve been a National Park ranger, too.
