The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members.

Donor Thank You
I created this spot to celebrate the incredible generosity of Coloradans. Using Adobe After Effects, I matched a beautiful gold motif with Kyle Clark's compassionate voice to thank viewers for their good works.
Bison Return
Our production team encouraged reporters to talk about their favorite stories. We shot reporter Ryan Haarer in a prairie location to match his subject. I edited his words to news footage, showing and statement graphics. It shows his strong connection to the people of Colorado.
Heroic Horse
I spoke with Mark Koebrich about the trials that the people of Lyons, Colorado faced due to massive flooding in 2013. Through his inspiring words, epic news footage and elegant graphics, a horse became a hero.
Cat Adoption
Dumb Friends League animal rescue wanted to encourage adult cat adoption. Our team created a campaign featuring the wonders of cat ownership through the perspective the felines. I brought together my fun copy, our designer's clean graphics and very patiently shot cat video. The result was a 30% increase in cat adoption.
9Health Fair
The first 9Health Fair in 1980 began one of the largest low cost medical testing providers in the region. Through a strong partnership with 9News, the fair has screened hundreds of thousands of people for treatable diseases. I produced this commercial to encourage viewers to find a fair to protect their health.
Gratitude
Adele Arakawa, a veteran anchor with 40 years of news experience, has covered thousands of moving stories. The resilience of the Columbine survivors struck her. Through her words and moving news footage, I created this message about gratitude in a time of tragedy. A moving reminder to keep going in times of trouble.
9Cares Colorado Shares Food Drive
More than 4 million pounds of food and $900,000 collected over 10 years.
I executive produced the largest single day food drive in the region for 10 years. This annual event benefits 130 food banks and brings together a community of 500 Volunteers, 35 locations and 15 Corporate Partners. I designed, managed and executed 9Cares Colorado Shares for 11 years. Collections of food, clothes, cash and toys reached neighbors in need throughout the Front Range.
It is my proudest professional accomplishment.

Stuff for Students
Many teachers use their own money to provide school supplies for their students. I worked with King Soopers and Volunteers of America to get much needed tools for school to kids across the metro area. More than $40,000 in annual donations have supported the education of thousands of students.
9Teachers Who Care Award
I hosted a formal dinner and award ceremony for 9 outstanding teachers and their loved ones. They each won continued education opportunities, a cash gift and a beautiful trophy. 9NEWS also featured a profile each of them inspiring students and teachers alike. It was a joy to celebrate Colorado's excellent educators.
9Who Care Award
Remarkable volunteers make our community great. Each year 9 amazing volunteers were celebrated with a formal dinner and award ceremony. Friends and family were included in honoring the compassionate people who share their time and their skills. It was inspiring to hear the stories of such generous people.
