Alan is a freelance video/film producer, director, and writer based in his hometown of Nashville, TN.
After his degree in television production from M.T.S.U., Alan immediately started to hone his skills leading production management teams on the sets of high-profile country music videos over several years that included stars Reba McIntyre, Toby Keith, Pam Tillis, Alan Jackson, Marty Stuart, Tracy Lawrence and many others. He then went on to produce and direct the TV pilot, "Partners In Design" for HGTV starring Jennifer O'Neill, then over the next several years produced and directed numerous commercials, promos and award-winning short films around the region including his own short movie, "Silent Affair."
Alan's career also had extensive stops along the way with two advertising agencies acting as Creative Director, Senior Producer, and Brand Manager. He worked exclusively as lead Producer and Director with many clients nationwide involving various productions including commercials and long form content. During this time, he was also a screenwriting instructor for Watkins College for several years while serving as a board member for the Tennessee Screenwriting Association.
More recently, Alan has produced three major projects for the TV/Film production company, Uproar Pictures: the television pilot "Wrestling Amateur Kaos," a psychological horror feature film, "The Odds," and the demonic-possession horror feature, "Gates of Flesh" released in 2025.
Slated to release in the fall of 2026 is another feature film he co-produced, "The Legend of Van Dorn" - a bio pic of the remaining months of major general Earl Van Dorn wrapped up in a love triangle during the American Civil War.
Alan currently wrapped production as producer and line producer for the feature film, "Without Prejudice;" a historical drama about the turbulent trajectory of Canada's first openly gay judge, Harvey Brownstone.
