Hi, I’m Michael! I’m a livestream and podcast producer, editor, and writer in LA who thrives on turning chaos into compelling content.
At Joy Media, I lead livestream productions from start to finish—translating product messaging into compelling story beats, shaping narrative-driven segments like flash sales, and guiding talent through live events that are structured, spontaneous, and on-brand.
I’ve produced podcasts for Network One Digital and Dotdash Meredith, working with talent like Deepak Chopra, Connie Chung, and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Highlights include Tinfoil Swans for Food & Wine Magazine, a documentary-style series blending culinary storytelling with cultural insight. Across projects, I shaped story arcs, aligned creative with brand voice, and managed production from pre-pro to final cut.
Before that, I led livestream and hybrid stage content at Dynasty Typewriter, producing shows with performers like Adam Sandler, Fred Armisen, and Marc Maron. It was there that I really honed my ability to think on my feet and shape stories in real time—skills I bring into every project I take on.
At the core of my work is storytelling—and I’m always chasing new ways to make it resonate.
