Director's Bio
I produced the “Wyoming Portraits” series for PBS for six seasons. After a stint operating the public access channel for the city of Casper, I began producing free lance documentaries. “Dell Burke and the Yellow Hotel” aired on PBS and was featured in the 2018 Black Hills Film Festival. “The Monumentals” has been accepted in festivals world wide, and has been a category winner three times. “Forgotten Ingenue” is my first narrative feature.
