I've spent 25+ years managing international tours and large theater and opera productions without losing my sanity. Here's what I've learned: the chaos isn't inevitable—it's a choice. Get the production management philosophy that prevents 80% of the problems most entertainment professionals spend their lives fighting.
Stop Fighting the Same Production Fires Over and Over

“I rarely meet people who have that much attention to detail and at the same time are in it for the fun and the joy of it. That in combination with accute professionalism is a rare thing.”

Remember Why You Loved This Work?
Time Well Spend, The Alternative to "Always On" Culture
You didn't get into entertainment to answer 3am venue emails or work weekends on problems that proper systems would prevent. I help creative professionals rediscover the joy in their work by building sustainable systems that honor both your ambition and your humanity.
Currently Managing
Real Productions, Sustainable Methods
While developing the Time Well Spent methodology, I'm actively managing:
International touring productions across multiple venues
Large-scale opera premieres and theater productions
Multi-city festival circuits and entertainment projects
Creative media programs and industry collaborations
And I still have time for actual relationships, creative projects, and sleep. Revolutionary concept, I know.
What This Means for You:
These aren't theoretical systems, they're battle-tested in the most demanding creative environments and refined through 25+ years of keeping complex productions running smoothly.
