I am first a curious strategist who loves to build long-lasting relationships. As an award-winning producer, I love to tell great stories. While my principal focus is in media as a CEO, negotiator and producer, my interests in business extend beyond entertainment. I also love architecture and design and have built a real estate holding and development company that combines my interest in business and creating modern, elevated spaces for people to live and work. I also love technology and enterprise, hence my experiences in technology and as a venture capitalist. I am also the Executive Chairman & Co-founder of a leading commerical services company with nearly 200 employees.My history includes being the CEO of a venture-backed media technology company that was successfully acquired, as well as being a partner in a prominent law firm, serving as outside counsel to Nintendo, AT&T, Eddie Bauer, and Amazon, among others. My first life in law focused on federal white collar crime before moving to technology and media. In philanthropy, I am the trustee of our private family foundation, with grant making in the arts, education, mental health, food security, and journalism. I am also a trustee of the Palm Springs Art Museum.Why pick one lane when you can occupy many! Life is short, apply your passions with missionary zeal, even if you skin your knees a few times along the way. I’ve found that if something doesn’t scare me a bit, it’s probably not very interesting.
