What I Do

Content Producer

How I Got To The Weather Company

I have 10-plus years of experience in the media, sports and entertainment industry, serving as an editor, producer and product manager for companies such as 160over90, Turner Sports, Raycom Media and Cox Media Group. I've built digital and content strategies, revamped creative processes, produced award-winning television shows and driven audience engagement and revenue for organizations. After working on The Weather Channel’s hit television show, Weather Gone Viral, I jumped at the opportunity to join the content team at The Weather Company.

When not strapped to a computer and coffee IV, I enjoy 5 a.m. workouts, staying active, eating what some might consider an excessive amount of eggs, using (stealing) my wife’s expensive face moisturizers and spending quality time with my wife and two sons.

What I Love About Working for The Weather Company

The passion and creativity my teammates bring on a daily basis are contagious and fuel those early-morning shifts!
