I make content that holds attention — or it doesn't get made. As founder of Intelligent Operations and a former VMLY&R creative, I direct commercial work, branded films, and documentary projects that turn brand belief into visual proof.
I'm a Kansas City-based director, creative producer, and founder of Intelligent Operations — a full-service content agency built on one belief: the work either holds attention or it doesn't.
My path wasn't traditional. I'm self-educated in the craft — which means every skill I have, I earned on set, in the edit bay, and through the lens. Before Intelligent Operations, I cut my teeth at VMLY&R, one of the world's largest marketing agencies, where I learned the difference between content that checks a box and content that changes minds.
In 2023, I launched Intelligent Operations with a simple mission: make ideas move. That year, I traveled, worked with celebrities, directed documentaries, and assembled the kind of crews and casts that only show up for work that matters.
I take on a limited number of projects each year. If you're building something that deserves to be seen — let's talk about what it takes to make it move.
