Franchise Architect | Executive Producer | Founder, Angel Gate Entertainment

​

I am an Executive Producer and Franchise Architect with a 30-year track record of building the physical and creative infrastructure required to scale global entertainment brands. I have founded and scaled five companies from the ground up—including three independent entertainment distributors, a creative agency, and a printing entity—giving me a unique, whole-picture view of the industry.

​

Executive Leadership & Studio Operations

​

For 15 years, my agency served as a top-tier creative vendor for the world's largest entertainment entities, including Disney, Marvel, Warner Bros., and Lionsgate. I specialized in the high-stakes world of brand strategy and product packaging, ensuring that billion-dollar IPs were translated into physical and digital consumer products with precision. My foundation includes a decade as a Studio VP, where I launched three home video companies during the industry’s era of peak global expansion.

​

Franchise Development & Iconic IP

​

I am an award-winning author of nine books and the architect of the PILLYWIGGIN universe, a multi-tiered portal fantasy franchise currently in development for film and brand integration. My work focuses on building "The Human Premium" by bridging traditional storytelling with future-facing technology.

​

Legacy & Genre Works:

​

• War Eagles: Personally requested by legend Ray Harryhausen to write and produce the book and screenplay. This project was inspired by a 1939 concept from King Kong creator Merian C. Cooper.

• The Chameleon: An action-thriller franchise to be directed by Jeff Imada (The Bourne series, Iron Man 2 and more). The companion novel is slated for release later this year, bridging the gap between high-stakes physical production and literary IP.

By.Storytellers

​

I launched the By.Storytellers podcast, designed to provide independent creators and authors with a platform to tell their stories. Alongside these interviews, I lead the AI & Human Roundtable, moderating an "AI Council" featuring Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, and Meta AI where we discuss what everyone is afraid of, why, and what the solutions are.
