I am a seasoned production veteran with over 30 years of experience, currently wrapping up a fantastic run as the Head of Production at Leo Burnett Detroit. Throughout my career, I’ve honed my expertise in orchestrating seamless productions, from large-scale campaigns to more intimate projects, all while delivering spot-on content that people seem to like.

 As the Head of Production, I had the honor of leading so many talented producers. My expectations were simple, and that was to ensure that each campaign not only met but exceeded client expectations. With a keen eye for detail and an unwavering passion for creative ideas, I strive to produce content that not only grabs eyeballs, but also delivers results.

 Before joining Leo Burnett, I held various leadership positions, including Head of Production at Doner, and Senior Producer roles at Campbell-Ewald, Fallon, and Bozell. My advertising journey started at Young & Rubicam, where I built a reputation for collaboration and creative excellence. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work on successful campaigns for both global brands and emerging startups.

 Beyond my role at Leo Burnett, I am passionate about fostering talent and nurturing the next generation of creatives. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when production schedules slowed, I initiated a department-wide “Premiere Challenge,” encouraging the production team to stretch their creative wings while learning Adobe editing software. I also regularly mentor aspiring production professionals through our agency’s internship program. One past intern was recently the lead editor on the latest Eminem video (Proud HOP moment!).

 Collaboration and quality are at the heart of everything I do, and I remain dedicated to pushing the boundaries of creative excellence in all aspects of production. My focus is always on driving forward a clients' brand mission to inspire, engage, and leave a lasting impact.
