I run SFJAZZ's Digital Program – in 2020 we launched a weekly online concert series of performances filmed and recorded at the SFJAZZ Center with its multi-cam, HD system. To date we've featured over 100 digital concerts, and over 13K new "digital" members have signed up for this program (in addition SFJAZZ's existing membership base), and through these online concerts we raised over $500K for artists during the pandemic, with over $1M in total digital revenue. In addition to all of SFJAZZ's digital product lines, I oversee SFJAZZ's radio partnerships, SFJAZZ's forthcoming video apps (Roku, Apple TV, Google, Amazon) as well as all third-party content distributers. Looking ahead, SFJAZZ is committed to a hybrid model of both live, in-person concerts, as well as digital access to the broadcasts of these same concerts. Aside from all these duties, I occasionally still edit short films (see below) honoring some of the greatest artists in jazz.

Documented the journey on a blog, as well as All About Jazz and Earshot Jazz (see publications). Recorded with artists in each country, best of compiled into mixtape (“Eclectic”) on Bandcamp.
