Experience
D&D Productions
Media Producer, Principal
September 2004 – Present, Wisconsin + Costa Rica
I produce one of the longest running, award winning podcasts on the internet, The Dawn and Drew Show! as well as Dawn and Drew TV and Nerd Moment. These 1000+ multi-media episodes include workflows for various types of production, such as digital artwork & websites, audio recording & editing, video filming & editing, as well as live and remote shows from multiple countries. My team also produced daily drive-time content for Sirius satellite over a 2 year period. Our global audience has helped us get our work featured in major news outlets such as Time, USA Today, CNN, and Rolling Stone, just to name a few. My responsibilities specialize in logo creation, website design & development, audio production & publication, as well as promotions, SEO, marketing & analytics.
Under the Corset with Rasputina
In 2010, we produced a documentary on the band Rasputina, an intimate look into the music and mind of Melora Creager. I was responsible for converting footage, editing parts of the movie, design and layout of the product itself, the website and fulfillment of DVD orders. It was an intense project that I was able to coordinate with team members around the country.

For over six years, I was responsible for global hardware and software upgrades, and troubleshooting during my tenure. I also supported over 100 people between both businesses. Design experience included concepting, presentations, installations, and website design as well as development through to completion.
Panda Communications
Graphic Designer / Webmaster
