I co-founded Tree9 Films, a St. Louis-based commercial film production company. Our clients range from nationally recognized brands to local Mom & Pop shops. I've produced, written, and directed films around the country, developed fundraising films that have raised millions for important causes worldwide, and even been recognized with a few awards, but I am most proud of the work we do locally in St. Louis. This is where our roots are.Recent production credits include Together Credit Union, Hitachi, St. Louis Blues, and Make-A-Wish America.Other things I'm proud of:• In 2024 I graduated from the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Program. The curriculum was designed by Babson College, the nation’s top-ranked school for entrepreneurship.• In 2022 I brought the 48 Hour Film Project back to St. Louis, and I continue to put the competition on annually because I believe in providing opportunities for young and aspiring filmmakers to gain experience and for professional filmmakers to cut loose and enjoy their craft. Plus, St. Louis filmmakers deserve more celebration and recognition.• I developed the Early to RISE Career Fair and produced the event for 2 years with the non-profit, RISE Society. The one-day event provided opportunities for high school girls from all over St. Louis to engage with working professionals in a variety of fields, to discover new career opportunities, or to learn more about their chosen career. The goals was for them to leave empowered to pursue their own path towards personal and professional success, with resources to help them along the way.
