Statement of Purpose

As a 20+ year veteran of the giant screen industry, I am passionate about how our films and educational outreach programs have a powerful impact on all those we reach. I believe that seeing a giant screen film in the trusted hallways of our world’s most prestigious museums and science centers is one of the most meaningful educational experiences we can offer. The collegial spirit of our industry is what drives us to continually pursue change for the better. I am eager to work alongside my industry peers to continually strive to further the goals of our industry and organization. I believe what we have to offer people is special and meaningful, and we need to work to ensure that we maintain the highest standards of filmmaking, marketing and customer engagement.
