Vana Verification Code: 454548Just a quiet goofball millionaire who skydives regularly except I pay someone to jump out of another plane and catch me in midair. So far I have the quiet goofball part down...While I'm not funding my skydiving ventures, I work two jobs. The first, as a full-time media production supervisor at USC’s Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, which involves teaching students audio and video editing for news. I also spend a large amount of time assisting acclaimed documentarian Dan Birman with his news documentary course and supervising USC Impact – a student-run documentary news magazine - that produces shows that broadcast on Spectrum News.Second, I work part-time editing and producing podcasts.  I currently edit the California housing podcast "Gimme Shelter," as well as the comedic investigative podcast "Oh No, Ross and Carrie." In the past, I've worked on popular podcasts like "Dirty John," "Deadly Manners," and "Darkest Night." For audio dramas "Deadly Manners" and "Darkest Night," I often find myself thinking of creative ways to make deadly sounds, like pulverizing pounds of meat in a bowl, smashing a watermelon on my kitchen floor, or searching for nearby farms for authentic piglet squeals. These audio dramas starred celebrities like Lavar Burton, Kristen Bell, Dennie O'Hare, and RuPaul.  My media career began as an undergrad at New York University, at first working several unrelated odd jobs (phone surveyor, coat checker, gym employee, you name it) until I got my first internship at WOR Radio. From there I have continuously worked in the journalism and media industry for companies such as KCRW's Press Play, ABC News Radio, TPN retail marketing, Sirius XM, Howard Stern TV, the Paragon Collective, and CBS Weekend News. And while I have a passion for creating a variety of media, I believe when done right, radio is the most captivating platform.And since my days growing up in Maryland, 30 minutes south of Baltimore (this usually means nothing to most people except that Maryland is the setting for "The Wire"), I spend my free time running around playing the best sport around – ultimate frisbee.
