As my credentials will attest, I have worked in numerous areas of television production including (but not limited to) live and post-production for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Raptors, Toronto Marlies, and Toronto FC.  Most recently, as a lead AMI production specialist, I’ve had the pleasure of co-developing and implementing, including operating, Canada’s first live NDI television broadcast studio and control room that generates AMI’s flag ship content; a daily, live 2-hour talk show, all produced using NDI technology. I have also worked with the largest sports broadcasters and production facilitators in Canada, including CBC, ESPN, TSN, MLSE, and Dome Productions, just to name a few.

As a production technology enthusiast, and being responsible for the research, implementation, operation and support of the most advanced technologies in the production industry, including 4K, HD, media asset management, production automation, branding and digital content creation platforms, I have always been interested in technology developments as they apply to the production industry. I have made it a priority to stay on top of the latest developments in emerging technologies, by attending industry conferences including NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) on a regular basis.

Throughout my successful production career, I have also designed, produced and delivered various technical operation training programs for varying audiences including engineers, technologists, and executives. This experience has extended my satisfaction as a career production industry professional.
