Experienced director
and showrunner
In September, 2024, I directed episodes of “Wild Foods,” a new culinary adventure series exploring the frontier of sustainable food systems. The series is commissioned by WNET in New York City and produced by Polar Productions in Burlington, Vermont.
I’m currently supervising post production and writing scripts. At the end of the day, I’m exceptionally hungry.

Check out Season 2 of “Kill Your Lawn” on EarthxTV.
