I am a radio producer and filmmaker.

I’ve produced hundreds of stories, interviews and documentaries for public radio, including the NPR programs, Morning Edition and All Things Considered. I also independently produced and reported the public radio documentary “One Family and a Kansas Town.” It aired on 100 stations nationwide and on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

I served as assistant director for the documentary film “Waiting for Hockney” an official selection of the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival and the 2008 Toronto Hot Docs Festival. The film recently had its U.S. broadcast premiere on the Sundance Channel.

I live in Washington D.C. where I’m executive producer of The Bob Edwards Show on Sirius XM Radio and Bob Edwards Weekend from PRI. I also co-curate Small Good Thing, an online showcase of creative work in film, radio music and the web and am co-founder of Ignite DC, a showcase of innovation and ideas.
