I'm an Emmy-nominated animation producer, writer and development executive with extensive experience in both linear television and digital realms, for adult and 6-11 audiences. In one of my most recent roles, as the head of development at Disney TV Animation, I helped bridge a number of digital-first creators into the traditional linear space, and spearheaded the development of several heritage titles, sourced from the vast Disney archives. During my 5 years at Mondo Media, I led the charge in uncovering, developing and launching hit series that followed in the huge wake of Happy Tree Friends, the most viewed digital series of all time. The big finds were Baman Piderman, Dick Figures and Deep Space 69, which have all found massive audiences around the world, and along the way I pioneered distribution and audience building techniques for this emerging digital entertainment world. These efforts led Mondo into the top-10 most-subscribed Film & Animation YouTube channels.I was the founder of Cold Hard Flash, a popular news and entertainment website that focused on the world of Flash animation, and Lineboil.com, a blog about the broader world of character animation. I'm proud of a 2009 pilot I co-produced along with Six Point Harness for Comedy Central/Happy Madison/Sony called Gay Robot, which was of the funniest things I worked on that never went anywhere. I received an Emmy-nomination as a Producer of Coconut Fred's Fruit Salad Island, a series for Kids'WB!, where I worked before taking the job of Vice President of Animation at JibJab Media, which I held until 2007. At Warner Bros., I produced over a dozen development shorts and developed Johnny Test for the 2005-2006 season. Prior to Warner Bros., I was Senior Producer of Original Content at Sony Pictures Digital, where I helped architect a forward-thinking entertainment portal, Screenblast, which helped launch what is now known as Robot Chicken.
