How did a guy from the sticks of Arkansas wind up making trailers, promos and primetime specials in Hollywood? Honest answer— I love movies and TV shows!

I attended the University of Missouri to study radio, television and film production— Go Tigers! I was the first from either side of my family to receive a Bachelor and then a Masters degree. In LA, I got my first break at a small theatrical trailer house, writing, producing and directing promos, trailers, sales reels and marketing campaigns for ABC, Warner Brothers, MGM, NBC and Fox. The highlight of my career during this time was creating and launching a home video campaign for the Batman franchise.

I moved on to Fox where I became the Creative Director for Drama and Special Projects. There I led teams of writer/producers and editors, tasked with launching new dramas and producing daily episodic promos. I love science fiction and was thrilled to be chosen to create the launch campaign for the iconic series, The X Files. I went on to produce promos/trailers for the first 6 seasons and also was the producer and writer of two primetime specials, Secrets of The X Files and More Secrets of The X Files. During this time, I also directed numerous promo and behind the scenes shoots with Fox talent.

I eventually started my own company to be a work from home Dad. Projects included: Behind the scenes trailers for the Fox series, Human Target, 24 and the independent feature, The Inner Circle. I also wrote and produced upfront presentations for the UPN network as well as writing / directing the award-winning short film, Believe.

I then returned to Fox full time as a Senior Writer/Producer working on launch campaigns, promos and trailers for the entire run of the J.J. Abrams sci-fi series, Fringe and Almost Human, the Batman prequel, Gotham and the highly anticipated revival of The X Files. I also was on the creative marketing team for the hit series Glee, 9-1-1, and the new drama, 9-1-1 Lone Star— from prolific creator Ryan Murphy.

I’m Bart. Not Bartholomew, just Bart. I’m married to an incredible woman, we have an amazing daughter, two rescue dogs and a cat. My hobbies include guitar, woodworking, videography, digital still and drone photography. I maintain my Arkansas drawl, y’all!
