Broker Biography

Introduction

With over 20 years of experience in the TV, film, and advertising industries, I’ve built a career at the intersection of creativity and commerce. As an award-winning Art Director, Designer, and Animator, I’ve collaborated with major brands and agencies—including A&E Networks, Paramount, AMC, MLB, NHL, Ogilvy, and Wieden+Kennedy—to craft high-impact campaigns that drive engagement and revenue.

Beyond visual storytelling, I’ve partnered with clients and stakeholders to develop marketing strategies, manage budgets, and navigate complex negotiations. This fusion of creative problem-solving and business strategy now fuels my role as a business intermediary at Transworld Business Advisors, where I guide entrepreneurs through the intricacies of buying, selling, and franchising businesses.

My passion for art, mathematics, business, and building relationships enables me to connect with clients on multiple levels, ensuring transactions that are both financially sound and creatively inspired.

Let’s connect if you’re seeking a partner who brings a creative lens to business strategy, ensuring your next venture is both visionary and viable.
