About
I’m a Film Professor with a dynamic background as a USAF Officer, piloting C-17A Globemaster missions worldwide for humanitarian and combat efforts, followed by a career in procurement, supply chain, and logistics while earning an MBA.
A lifelong storyteller since childhood, I turned my hobby into a passion, working as a Production Manager on an independent feature film during my MBA, then pursuing an MFA in Film and TV Producing. With experience on over 30 productions across the US and UK.
I currently teach college-level courses like Independent Producing, Introduction to Filmmaking, Cross Cultural Cinema, and Media Aesthetics, both in-person and online, certified in distance education.

Great Scott! The Scrapped Ideas That Almost Changed Back to the Future
Introduction: The Masterpiece That Was Almost a Mess Welcome to Before the Rewrite, Episode 01: Back to the Future is one of those rare, near-perfect films, an iconic masterpiece that defines a generation.
