    President and CEO
    Tremendous! Entertainment, Inc.

    Colleen is always on the hunt for the next brilliant idea and has discovered that the ones scribbled on the back of cocktail napkins are usually the best. With more than 28 years of television experience, she spearheads the company’s new show development and oversees the production of hundreds of hours of programming.

    Colleen began her career in television news at WCCO-TV, the Minnesota based CBS owned and operated station, and quickly became an award-winning news anchor covering local, national and world news from the field and behind the news desk.

    In 1995, Colleen founded Tremendous! Entertainment so she could tell stories longer than a minute and a half and provide unprecedented access to fascinating places and people around the world. The company has been breaking new ground ever since with award winning programs like Bizarre Foods, Tiger Hunt, K-9 to 5, Lifeline - Mayo Clinic, and Condition Black.

    We love telling good stories. And over time, we realized that most of the stories we like to tell can be enjoyed by everyone − young and old. And we know we’re not alone in that. We’ve discovered thousands of award-winning producers around the world that share our passion for finding great characters and capturing amazing images. Yet much of their work never gets seen in the US.

    That’s why we helped create Tremendous! Media. We scour the earth to find the best of the best in video programming and make this family friendly media available through mass retail and school fundraising channels.
