Background

Areas of interest

Background

I received a Masters of Science in Environmental Policy and Behavior from the University of Michigan in 2004.  I started out working in documentary film, with Metrocom International. From there I founded the video production company In-Site Video, which was contracted by non-profits and municipal governments to produce environmental media.  For example:  


The MAB award-winning Green Room radio program began airing monthly in 2013 on NPR-affiliate WEMU News (see samples below).


The Green Room television show, a Philo award-winning monthly series, began airing in 2010 on Ann Arbor’s Community Television Network.

I explore questions such as:


What are the impacts of human activities, and how can we preserve our natural resources? From birth to death and everything in-between, I explore strategies to minimize our adverse effects.  


What are the societal forces at play?  I give voice to a diversity of opinions, and delve into underlying values. For example, this segment interviewed conservatives for their perspectives on the environment.
