I've worn a few hats over the years: actor, musician, producer, writer, and - for one brief, unforgettable stretch - Tommy Lasorda's right-hand man.
 

The journey started in Alabama, detoured through Chicago, and eventually landed me in Los Angeles in 2009 armed with little more than a guitar, an outdated headshot (think '90s soap opera), and a healthy amount of optimism.
 

Along the way, I've written music for television, studied under legendary acting teacher Eric Morris, and appeared in my fair share of commercials and stage productions (let's just say none of them were on Broadway).
 

Somewhere in the middle of all that hustle, I discovered I enjoyed building stories just as much as performing them. That realization led me behind the camera around 2015, where I've spent the last decade producing and directing content for brands ranging from Nike to Universal Music, alongside agencies from McCann to VMLY&R.

Today, through Boy Blue Media, I develop and produce commercials, branded documentaries, and original content for artists, agencies, and networks. The work looks a little different than it did back in '09, but the goal remains the same: tell a great story.

It's been a strange road from Alabama to Hollywood, but a helluva ride nevertheless. I still write music, jump in front of the camera when they'll let me, and I'm always collecting material for my next chapter.

Hope you enjoy what you find here.
