I moved to Idaho two years ago for personal reasons. I never expected to be a leader in starting a new industry here – one I believe will drive Idaho toward more economic diversity and provide more opportunities for jobs.

My background is in the film industry, and I’m able to use that experience toward helping numerous businesses get a toehold in the state’s fledgling film industry.

I work for the Idaho Film Office http://www.filmidaho.org/ , which implements and manages media industry-based economic-development and work-force development programs for Idaho. Nurturing strong partnerships with businesses, universities, chambers and elected officials, we continue to enhance the profile and relevance of the film and television production industry within the community.
