    After relocating to San Francisco, I went to work for The Container Store, which has been on 'Fortune's 100 Best Companies to Work For' for 17 years running, in large part because of its commitment to corporate culture and employee development.

  • Warner Bros. Studios
    Key Production Assistant, The Iron Giant
    Warner Bros. Studios
    1996 - 1999 (3 years 1 month)
    I was the first production assistant hired for the animated movie The Iron Giant, directed by Brad Bird, and reported to the Producer, Director, Head of Story, and other department heads as the production team grew. I traveled to Maine to manage logistics for the Director, Producer and six artists scouting reference locations, made sure people were fed, petty cash was tracked and shot lists were maintained. Then I helped clean-up animation track scenes in the WB TAZ database, and prepared for weekly meetings and took notes to review with artists and production teams. I was also the catalyst for Vin Diesel being cast in the role of the Giant, which was good for his career and for the studio. It was on this job that one of my b

In my first job, I began as a production assistant and later coordinated color models and tracked digital color corrections for each scene for post-production review. This was where I learned to deliver Hollywood-level production support.
