As Co-founder and SVP Acquisitions and Development of Minno, a global digital media platform focused on supporting Christian kids and families, I work with a talented team of professionals who share a common vision and mission. My 35 plus years of experience in all aspects of creative talent packaging, IP development and commercial exploitation across music, literary, and film/tv, have equipped me to lead the IP architecture of a rapidly growing children’s media brand and studio.History: Founded Creative Trust in 1989 as an entertainment management company focused on the music industry. Co-founded Creative Trust Ventures in 2012 as a trans-media IP and technology holding company with business partner, Erick Goss.Music Publishing: CT, with partner/producer Brown Bannister, made its mark in music publishing with RBI Music in the 90’s developing a catalog of songs recorded by such artists as Babyface, Garth Brooks, Cher, Diamond Rio, Amy Grant, Wynona Judd and Tricia Yearwood culminating in the 1997 Grammy Song of the Year awarded for Change The World, recorded by Eric Clapton for the John Travolta movie, Phenomenon.Management and Events: Creative Trust is known for managing a boutique group of highly respected gold and platinum selling artists and producers over a span of 28 years. In the process, CT became adept at producing and managing hundreds of concerts and events, often integrating commercial and charitable sponsorships to further expand audiences and revenue.In 2015, as a result of rapid disruption in the distribution of music, Creative Trust Ventures made a significant strategic shift away from music and the founders began their media journey solving the visual content and digital distribution challenges faced by children and their families. As a result, Minno was launched in 2019 and is thriving today.Specialties: Creative content development and acquisitions, media packaging, and IP architecture.
