A Biography.

I believe everyone and every brand has a great story to tell, and I’ve spent the last twenty-six years in constant pursuit of opportunities to tell them in an emotionally impactful way.

After cutting my teeth in broadcast television, I took that pursuit, a camera, a lot of nerve, and a bit of naiveté, and turned it into Studio C3, the Colorado-based studio I founded in 2004 and ran for eighteen years. We grew it from a freelance business into a $1M shop and built a team whose work earned a Regional Emmy, seventeen Telly Awards, and sixteen American Advertising Awards. Along the way, I’ve directed and shot for Apple, Google, ESPN, Microsoft, Canon, IBM, and Marriott Autograph Collection Hotels.

During that run, I talked the Brewers Association into taking a chance: making a feature documentary instead of a short commercial. For the Love of Craft went out on an international screening tour, picked up press and grassroots engagement along the way, and helped a trade organization open real markets in Japan and Europe. It played Series Fest, Napa Valley Film Festival, and Denver Film Festival. This was my first realization that a more in-depth narrative could build engagement and brand loyalty more than typical productions ever could.

This idea sent me looking for new ways of crafting impactful stories. I co-founded and ran The RiP, Colorado’s longest-running for-profit improv comedy troupe, and the Colorado Improv Festival. I started King Charles Films to focus on original productions, some of which were featured in Filmapalooza Paris. And in 202, I founded MOXI.TV, a premium streaming platform for independent film, and built it to the point where it paid creators out of subscription revenue.

After teaching and directing with Muse Storytelling for years, I accepted a full-time role as Creative Director, leading on-site creative direction and production for Four Seasons Africa across Johannesburg, Mauritius, and the Seychelles. I also helped the creative team win a contract with HubSpot and directed original content for Nike.

Building on decades of work across broadcast, live entertainment, short-form commercial content, and documentary, in late 2022 I founded Moxi: a Denver-based film studio making long-form, character-led brand work – scripted comedy series, documentary, multi-episode arcs – for companies that have figured out the 30-second spot doesn’t build love or loyalty.

Twenty-six years in, I still believe everyone and every brand has a great story to tell, and I’m still chasing the next one on my journey toward true raconteur status.
