I am General Counsel and Senior Vice President, Business and Legal Affairs at Campfire Studios, where I lead legal and business affairs for a leading independent nonfiction production company creating premium documentary and unscripted storytelling for major platforms and broad audiences. My work spans development, rights, talent, production, financing, distribution, and strategic growth. At Campfire, I help build the legal and business foundation that allows meaningful stories to move from idea to impact.

​

My career has taken shape across law, institutions, higher education, and public facing cultural work. Before joining Campfire, I worked in business and legal affairs at Critical Content, later acquired by SK Global Entertainment, where I supported television projects from development through post-production and advised on domestic and international production, talent, and distribution matters. Earlier in my career, I held legal roles at PayPal and Buckley LLP and served as Special Advisor to the President of Elon University and as an Assistant Professor of Political Science.

​

Across my professional and public work, I have been drawn to the intersection of storytelling, institutions, history, and cultural impact. Earlier in my career, I served as Senior Contributing Writer and Special Legal Correspondent for Young Lawyer Magazine, covering major cultural events while exploring the relationship between entertainment and the law. I was also the inaugural Director of the American Bar Association’s Men of Color Project, a national initiative focused on leadership development, mentorship, and civic engagement among men of color in the legal profession.

​

Outside of my executive work, I am deeply engaged in genealogy, historical research, and cultural programming. I serve in state leadership with the California Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, where I am the first and only African American to serve on the state board, and I am Vice Chair of the Sons of Liberty Chapter in Los Angeles. I also serve on the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee of the National Genealogical Society and host Culture Conversation, a public conversation series exploring history, culture, and identity. Together, these commitments reflect my broader interest in authorship, legacy, memory, and the role stories play in connecting people across generations, communities, and institutions.

My work and perspectives have been featured in Law Practice Today, Thomson Reuters, and the ABA Journal. I am a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation, a voting member of the Television Academy, and have been recognized on multiple 40 Under 40 lists by the National Bar Association and the Business Journal. In 2013, I was honored by the National Bar Association as Young Lawyer of the Year.
