I'm proud to share that I have completed my round as a 2026 judge for the 47th Annual Telly Awards (https://www.tellyawards.com) — an experience that allowed me to directly contribute to recognizing excellence in video and television across all screens. This is the 8th consecutive year that I have served as a judge for Telly Awards.
Telly Awards, now in its 47th year, honors outstanding work from major networks, production companies, agencies, and independent creators worldwide. Being invited to serve as a judge is not something I take lightly. It reflects a level of trust in my perspective, and I approached the responsibility with precision, discipline, and a deep respect for the work submitted.
Last year's winners of 2025 included PBS, The Walt Disney Company, Sesame Workshop, Hearst Media Production Group, Fox Entertainment, Telemundo, Univision, and NBC Connecticut.
Throughout the process, I evaluated a wide range of entries across multiple categories. Each submission required careful analysis — assessing not just creativity, but execution, clarity of message, and the ability to connect with an audience in a meaningful way. If you are interested in submitting in this year's competition, the Limited Grace Period closes on April 17, 2026.
Serving in this capacity placed me among a network of professionals shaping how excellence is defined and recognized in today's media landscape. That responsibility matters. Standards matter. And, being part of that process is something I value.
More than anything, this experience reinforced why I do the work that I do. Storytelling — when done correctly — is not just creative expression. It is influence, documentation, and legacy.
I remain committed to contributing at that level.
I don't just participate in the industry. I help evaluate, define, and elevate it.
If you're working on projects that aim to meet that standard — or if you're looking to collaborate on impactful, high-quality storytelling — let's connect.
