Oversaw the complete renovation and restoration of a historic theater in Catskill, NY, managing every phase from design through completion. Developed and maintained the project timeline and budget while coordinating multiple trades — including demolition, framing, electrical, plumbing, finishes, and custom millwork and FF&E — to deliver the project on time and within budget. Collaborated closely with architects, engineers, and local officials to preserve the theater’s historic character while integrating modern systems and amenities. In tandem with construction, founded and established the nonprofit organization that now operates the theater’s programming and events, ensuring its long-term cultural and operational sustainability.
Own and operate the historic Hi-Way Drive-In, a 75-year-old four-screen theater in Coxsackie, NY. Since acquiring the property three years ago, my wife and I have continued its long legacy of bringing a wide array of films to the local community while preserving its unique cultural and environmental heritage. We oversee all aspects of operations — from film programming and event production to site maintenance and land stewardship — and have expanded the theater’s food program to highlight local partners and seasonal offerings. Our ongoing goal is to honor the drive-in’s storied past while evolving it as a vibrant gathering place for film, community, and connection.
When Travis Scott announced his upcoming film, myself and my team helped Netflix produce a surprise drop of the trailer for fans at a Houston video rental store where Travis signed limited-release copies of the trailer on VHS.
During SXSW 2019 my team and I refabricated an existing downtown Austin restaurant into an UBER Eats to-go window. We partnered with local restaurants and distributed complimentary food items to SXSW attendees during the entirety of the festival.
In 2013 a few friends and I began making watch bands on a kitchen table in a small lower east side apartment. In the beginning we were pairing our straps with vintage faces but we always wanted to design our own. It was a hobby that grew quickly into a boutique watch company after the release of our first line of watches in 2014. Throne has continued to flourish with the release of several different lines of watches and leather goods. I served as director of operations until stepping down in 2016.
On Wed., Dec. 12, Stephen Curry wore the Curry 6 on-court at Oracle Arena for the first time.
On the day prior (December 11) we curated an event to introduce global media and influencers to the new Curry 6 and allow them to engage with Stephen about design inspirations and colorways.
The goal of the two day event was to validate the Curry 6 design construction both in-hand and on-foot, while providing depth and longevity to the Curry 6 story.

For the last two years I've been producing mobile marketing activations for The Economist Magazine. The challenge was to attract new, loyal readers to The Economist providing direct positive ROI.
Our strategy was to present The Economist as an advocate for change, embracing uncomfortable future trends covered in the magazine. The campaign presents people with provocative ideas, to screen those consumers that fit with The Economist from those who don’t.
Our activation set up a challenge for people: we offered them ice-cream with insects toppings, smoothies made with ugly food that was rejected by supermarkets and coffee who's grounds were used to make bio-diesel fuel. All those who were open minded enough to go for it, were probably the right fit for the brand.

Banana Republic’s Creative Team asked design studio DCD (Denton-Cardew Design) to help design and produce installations and props for his “Hero Product” shoot in 2018. The idea was to create backdrops and stages that connected to the old shipping crates that were used to carry fabric from oversees to San Francisco, where some of Bananas most iconic products were created. The set ups could be used as backdrops with models or just to dimensionalize the product. Many of the elements were created to be as multi-purpose as possible, so new set ups could be created on the fly. Crates were dismantled, light boxes were used as frames, and fabric itself could stretch to tell the story. Some details were left raw, and some were refined to speak to the quality of the craftsmanship.

As the Production Lead I worked in collaboration with Barneys New York and High Snobiety to curate a two-day shopping event at Barneys’ LA store that saw the release of over 30 exclusive, capsule collections.
Featuring drops from labels including Off-White ℅ Virgil Abloh, FEAR OF GOD, Heron Preston and Amiri. the projects* developed dynamic programming through branded activations and panel discussions with designers and influencers.
Under the direction of The Projects, we helped create dynamic programming that spoke to multiple tiers of guests, from current customers to future fans. The event doubled sales and drew over 12,000 people to the Beverly Hills flagship (quadrupling regular weekend traffic) for an opportunity to shop exclusive capsule collections and engage with an assortment of activations including: Prada’s Pachinko Parlor, a FILA-branded pizzeria and a surprise performance by the Wu-Tang Clan.

Tropics is an organic juice bar that provides a healthy option in the Crenshaw neighborhood of southwest Los Angeles. As a collective, Tropics is a platform for young adults to learn lifelong skills that nourish self-esteem and independence. As a local organization, it creates valuable amenities and opportunities within a community. As a cultural institution, it has an impact and resonance throughout a wide reaching and diverse public. Alongside Commonwealth Projects I was fortunate enough to produce a pop-up juice bar/skate ramp for Tropics that was on display outside the Art Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibition in the beginning of 2018.
