He previously served as outsourced General Counsel for a Georgia production company, facilitated a strategic investment partnership for a specialty entertainment insurance broker, and helped secure a multimillion-dollar working capital credit facility for a performance marketing firm. His work often bridges legal, business, and creative concerns with a practical, solutions-oriented approach.
