PROFILE
Filmmaker, writer, communicator, educator
As a young environmental enthusiast in the early 1980s, I co-founded and co-directed Monadnock Media, a non-profit media organization. First productions focused on nature and environmental topics for conservation organizations throughout New England. Public Radio projects followed, including a documentary series on nature writers, audio essays on natural resources, and a musical environmental parable for NPR Playhouse.
The business expanded into the museum exhibit world where it still operates. For those clients, I wrote and directed numerous video, film, audio, interactive, and multimedia productions for museums, parks, and historic sites around the country. Noteworthy clients included the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian NY, major science museums such as the Franklin Institute and the Carnegie Science Center, the Truman Presidential Library, and a long list of science and cultural history museums.
Now working as an independent filmmaker, I am currently involved in documentary projects including a forest/energy/climate feature documentary and a series of short films on nature-based education. In addition to film and media production credits, I have been a freelance writer, educator, evaluator of educational programs, and marketing/PR professional inside several technology companies and agencies.
I earned an undergraduate biology/geology degree from Brown University with Sigma Xi honors for excellence in scientific investigation and research. I’m an alum of Antioch University New England where I received a graduate degree in environmental studies/education.
