It’s nice to meet you
My memoir, Outside The Spotlights: Conversations With Unsung Creators Behind the Screens in Hollywood, follows my nearly-forty-year career in entertainment and includes 37 profiles of collaborators from multiple areas of the business.
Creating a Career in Entertainment, Collaborating Behind the Spotlights in an Evolving Industry is a book for students and career pros seeking examples of how others succeeded in the entertainment business.
Both books explore creativity and how to build a career in both traditional and non-traditional ways. Some demonstrate pathways in the roles of acting, writing, producing, and directing. Others showcase contributions made by website designers, IT specialists, Business Affairs executives, international TV Distribution, game designers, marketing gurus, production software entrepreneurs, and music management pros.

I am retired from my last full-time position as IT Director for 21st Century Fox, where I managed the team responsible for International Television Distribution's FoxFast site. The site was used by Fox broadcast licensees worldwide to access digital assets for marketing, online screening, and broadcast master file delivery. My career includes over twenty years' experience in major entertainment and technology companies as well as freelance product development and publishing in interactive media.
