Tonight Show with Conan O’Brian Premiere!
The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien premiered last night on NBC with Will Ferrell as the first guest and Pearl Jam as the inaugural band. The show moved into a brand new star-of-the-art studio on the Universal Studios lot in LA and is using a completely digital, tapeless workflow.
In preperation for this launch, I worked with show engineers and our Digital Delivery departnment to implement a very efficent, tapeless delivery workflow. Highlights and full episodes are speed through the systems and viral clips can be published immediatly after the show airs on the east coast when needed.

xSAN Production Lab
24 terabytes of production storage, five fiber channel workstations, Signiant based automated delivery workflows, LikeWise Enterprise active directory integration, and a compete overhaul of NBC.com’s Video Production Lab.
Working with NBCU’s Broadcast Technology Initiatives group, I planned, executed and provide on-going support for a significant upgrade to the xSAN based production system used to edit & process ALL of NBC.com’s video offerings. Completed over the course of a nine days, this upgrade involved a total archive/backup/restore of ALL current system data, restripeing of the xSAN volume, workstation image build & deployment, server configuration and end-to-end speed testing.
This upgrade inculded the following software packages:
- Apple OS 10.5 Leopard (workstation & server)
- Apple xSAN 2
- LikeWise Enterprise (AD Integration)
- Signiant (Accelerated Delivery Workflows)
- Adobe Creative Suite 4
- 25 additional pieces of production & productivity software
Addationally planning is currently underway for a major hardware overhaul and expansion including new storage, workstations, Final Cut Server, and addational backup/redundancy systems.
Reality Casting Application
Initially developed for Hallock Healey Entertainment in Los Angeles, Be on TV Now.com provided the production company with an easy-to-use web based reality casting system. Built upon the Taleo Talent Management Platform, the system allowed candidates to submit detailed applications from the comfort of their homes. Once submitted, the system provided backend tools to automatically “knock-out” candidates with significant red-flags, efficiently review & process applications in bulk, and shepherd top talent through the interview and background check process.
For this project I completed initial research resulting in selecting Taleo as our backend solution provider, designed the frontend application template and implemented the backend processing workflow.
In addition to the custom graphics designed for the website, I also created a promotional package including flyers, business cards and other print collateral.

Connected Magazine
This 24 page magazine was designed for the Washington State University “Back to School” rush. Over 7,000 copies were distributed to incoming students to help with the process of getting their computers connected to the WSU network and well as provide information about the various products and services offered by Student Computing Services. For this project I acted as Editor and Lead Designer, as well as wrote all of the setup instructions and internal advertisements.
