WORK HISTORY
2024
Project Manager / Assistant Director / Writer
Antler Studios / The Dome Cooking Show
I supported Antler Studios and its CEO in multiple roles during production of The Dome Cooking Show. On set, I served as Assistant Director during principal filming; off set, I shifted into Production Assistant duties—coordinating schedules and call sheets, managing supplies and runs, liaising with crew and talent, and troubleshooting day-to-day production issues for the Director and CEO.
2004 – 2024
Project Lead / Studio Manager
Kerberos Productions Inc.
I served as Senior Producer and Studio Manager at this independent game studio. I oversaw business operations, project roadmaps, budgets and schedules, and coordinated a multidisciplinary team to deliver multiple indie titles. I navigated the challenges of long-term independent development while maintaining production discipline, creative coherence, and clear communication with partners and stakeholders.
2023 – Current
Writer / Consultant
Antler Studios
I work as a writer and consultant on film and TV projects, including co-authoring a cookbook tied to a cooking series and contributing to pitch materials for new media productions. I provide input on narrative structure, audience focus, and supporting documents, and I am slated to assist on a biographical documentary into 2026.
2015 – Current
Co-Host
The Crossrip Podcast
After two decades running a prominent Ghostbusters fan site, I transitioned into co-hosting The Crossrip, a podcast dedicated to the franchise. My work has included researching and scripting episodes, reporting from premieres, contributing to franchise-related books, interviewing filmmakers and talent, and recording a Blu-ray commentary track.
2000 – 2006
Columnist / Interviewer
IGN
I authored a regular column on classic cinema and television, and reviewed contemporary films and DVDs. I also visited film sets to conduct interviews with actors and directors, sharpening my skills in research, deadline-driven writing, and on-site reporting for a large entertainment audience.
1999 – 2003
Senior Designer
Barking Dog Studios / Rockstar Vancouver
I served as a senior game designer, specializing in PC strategy games for publishers such as Sierra, Disney, and Rockstar. After Rockstar acquired the studio, I contributed to pre-production on Bully and produced a design whitepaper that helped lay groundwork for Grand Theft Auto Online years before its release.
1997 – 1999
QA / Level Designer

I began my career in quality assurance at Radical Entertainment, learning production pipelines from the ground up before moving into level design. This early experience gave me a strong foundation in testing, iteration, and practical collaboration with designers and engineers.
