My experience at UMBC, learning the art and craft of cinema from the likes of Holly Lavenstein, Mark Street, Dan Bailey, and Vin Grabill, television production from Bob Kuhlmann and Bill Shewbridge, and theater from Sam McCready, has served me well over the years. I have enjoyed an international career serving Maryland Public Television/PBS, Cunard, TV Asia, Romanian Television Network, Nextel, Department of Defense, and TED Talks, working with such talent as Martin Scorsese, Mariska Hargitay, McCoy Tyner, and others.

Thanks, UMBC, and to all the wonderful teachers who cared. Your passions ignited my own.
