My experience in the entertainment industry has run the gamut from film/television production and development, to mergers and acquisitions in the international film market and public relations for film companies, writers, actors, authors and directors.

As an executive, I supervised television and film deals at Warner Brothers, Twentieth Century Fox, and PFG Entertainment.
