The Job

Growing up a latch-key kid in New York City, I became a lifelong lover of television. The fact I have a career in it proves it's possible to make dreams become a reality. Every time someone tells you something isn't possible; the trick is to use that as fuel to prove them wrong.

I've been a Senior-level development executive and Executive producer for over a quarter-century. In these roles, I've led the development and current programming departments at broadcast networks, executive-produced series for cable and broadcast networks, and headed development and production for three production companies before branching off on my own.

My experience has afforded me; stellar relationships with buyers, reps, and a ton of talented writers, directors, and creatives. It's also given me rock-solid development skills, with exceptional taste in material. I believe in leading by example and overseeing a staff through guidance and motivation - Intimidation tends to produce short results. 

As a studio exec; I helped establish the television departments of Brillstein-Grey and Virgin Produced, and as a Broadcast Network executive, I worked at both NBC and UPN; In my role as an Executive producer, I led Vin DiBona Productions, Big Cattle Productions, Davis Entertainment, and Virgin Produced.

During my career, I aided in the development and production of some of television's very successful shows, including NewsRadio, Just Shoot Me, The King of Queens, Blue Collar TV, Profiler, And Homicide: Life on the Street. 

As the Senior Vice President of Programming for UPN, I further mastered my understanding of network operations. I became the primary conduit connecting the affiliates, marketing & promo, scheduling, and creative departments. 

I've achieved President's rank at several companies and ultimately formed my own company, Big Cattle Productions, with Partner Eric McCormack (Will & Grace). Big Cattle yielded the Jane Lynch series, LOVESPRING.

Ultimately, I started 4Mankind Television. With many projects in various development stages, some of the current notable projects are with Kelsey Grammer (Grammnet), Tom Fontana (The Fontana/Levinson Company), Piers Morgan, and Litton Entertainment.
