About
I am a father, consultant, photographer, mentor, and entrepreneur. I founded Morale Visual Productions, where I serve as Founder and Executive Producer and Creative Director, leading photography, video content, social media management, Google Business Profile optimization and SEO, websites, CRM, and AI automation.
Before that, I spent 21 years in broadcast production at Telecare and the Catholic Faith Network, working live studio and field production. I have also led multi-location operations and marketing, and I handle sales, marketing, and management for a revenue-share venture in immersive tech, conferences, and trade shows.
Diehard NY Giants fan.
