MY JOURNEY: I’m an award-winning executive podcast producer whose work includes 15 critically acclaimed shows that have amassed over 265 Million downloads/streams and multiple awards honors.
I am also the producer of The Big Podcast with Shaq, a leading culture and sports video podcast hosted by NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal aka SHAQ (read more here). I began podcasting in 2014 as the host on 117 episodes of The Miews, which became the #1 music podcast on Apple. In 2017, I launched United We Cast Network with Fox Sports analyst Ric Bucher, where I executive produced several successful sports podcasts, and 105 episodes of the hit comedy video podcast, #GetSome with Gary Owen. I also earned my first film credit in 2017 as the Music Supervisor on the NBA documentary Mr. Chibbs (Amazon Prime Video).
BEFORE PODCASTING: My Grammy-nominated audio production career began in college. After college, I worked as a civil engineer for 12 years, spending nights and weekends crafting music for multiplatinum and Grammy winning artists like BoyzIIMen, Usher, and Juvenile.
In 2009 I left civil engineering behind and launched what became my award-winning magazine journalism and publishing career. During that same time I managed the careers of top actors like Sara Tomko, Irone Singleton, and Jeff Rose (2009-2014), which led to my podcasting career.
