About
From live production to
systems architecture.
I'm a broadcast engineer and systems integrator based in the Washington DC area. My career started in broadcast engineering for live sports, and over the years I've worked across both sides of the industry—production and infrastructure.
On the production side, I spent years as a 1st AC, DIT, Camera Operator, and Trinity Operator on commercials, corporate, narrative, and documentary projects. That hands-on experience shooting and operating gives me an operator's perspective when designing systems—I build facilities that work the way production teams actually need them to.
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, Monumental Sports, and COSM—engineering everything from control rooms and studios to cloud production infrastructure, XR stages, and IP-based workflows.
Systems Design
End-to-end broadcast facility design including signal flow engineering, equipment specification, and architectural documentation.
Integration
Full system integration from rack builds and wiring to commissioning, testing, and operator training.
Cloud & IP
Cloud-native production architectures, SMPTE ST 2110, NDI, SRT, and hybrid on-prem/cloud workflows.
Broadcast Engineering
Live production engineering, RF systems, video routing, and real-time broadcast operations.
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.
Projects
Selected work.
Broadcast facility design and systems integration for enterprise, sports, aerospace, and financial services clients.
