About
From live production to
systems architecture.
I'm a broadcast engineer and systems integrator based in the Washington DC area, with a career that spans both sides of the industry—production and infrastructure.
My background in live production as a 1st AC, DIT, Camera Operator, and Trinity Operator gives me an operator's perspective that most systems designers don't have. I build facilities that work the way production teams actually need them to—not just the way engineers imagine they will.
Today, my focus is broadcast systems integration. As a principal systems designer with Broadcast Management Group, I design production facilities for organizations including the Washington Commanders, CVS/Aetna, UBS, BetMGM, Intuit, and Monumental Sports—engineering control rooms, studios, XR stages, and IP-based workflows across sports, corporate, financial services, aerospace, and defense.

Process
From blueprint to broadcast.
A complete lifecycle approach to broadcast facility design and systems integration. Every project follows a disciplined process that ensures systems work flawlessly when the red light goes on.
Design
Signal flow engineering, system architecture, and equipment specification. Every facility starts with documentation that defines how signals move, how operators interact, and how systems scale.
Integrate
Full system builds from rack fabrication and cable infrastructure through to final termination and labeling. Clean builds that technicians can troubleshoot and maintain for years.
Commission
End-to-end system testing, calibration, and performance verification. Every signal path tested, every failover validated, every workflow documented before handoff.
Support
Operator training, documentation packages, and ongoing technical support. Systems designed with the people who use them in mind — not just the engineers who build them.
