BAD HOUR INC.
A story about a storyteller
As the founder and CEO of BAD HOUR Inc., I’ve had the privilege of leading a team for over 19 years.
​
We have developed strategies and creative assets for hundreds of films, television shows, video games, and graphic novels from RFP to final onscreen execution.
​
At the heart of these successes is my passion for creating deeply emotional character moments featured in either traditional narratives or uniquely connective marketing experiences.
These projects have taught me that what I don’t know, I’ll learn fast… and what I do know, I can teach even faster.
​
My approach has also brought success on YouTube. I’ve gained over 200,000 subscribers via my show, “The Panel,” a collection of my pop culture video essays and podcast discussions.​
At this stage in my career I am looking for new challenges and I would love to bring my passion and experience to a company full-time that I can both contribute to and can learn from.
​I look forward to working with you.
