Director Biography

RugbyTown is an award-winning documentary series about a team of world-class American athletes who failed to achieve NFL stardom, and their collective second-chance journey to become professional sports legends and world champions in a brand new game! RugbyTown, Season 1 garnered seventeen (17) film festival awards globally and Season 2 is bigger and better!

RugbyTown, USA is the only place this could happen, and thanks to City of Glendale, Colorado visionary leader Mayor Mike Dunafon, everyone in town is on-side to develop America's top athletes into world-beating rugby players, to finally impose American footwork, power & physicality on the global rugby stage. The City has assembled world-class coaching and facilities for High Performance training and all is focused on the American Raptors' success.

The players are all USA-eligible with world-class abilities in power and speed metrics. If they can crossover and meet the standards to be a professional rugby player, they can extend their sporting career, while they prepare the USA to win the Rugby World Cup. In each episode, the players tell their own stories of their challenges in crossing-over from football to rugby. In RugbyTown, the players form life-long friendships with their new team mates, while they attempt to fast-track their rugby knowledge development and we meet their family and friends. With every possible training advantage at their disposal, the pressure is on for the coaches and staff to mint new rugby international players pronto, while they cut the players who don't project to the top level in world rugby. RugbyTown is real, with winners and losers in each episode, both on and off the pitch, as the players, coaches, and a city find purpose in a new game for life.
