See that smiling guy? That's Hayden, and that smile is from over twenty years of working in television, earning an Emmy in the process and earning two more nominations. After graduating from Transylvania University (yes, it's a real place) in 1998, Hayden immediately put his Biology degree to work and headed west to Hollywood. Unsure which end of the camera to look through (because they don't teach that in Biology), Hayden got a job as a Production Assistant on an IMAX film, which he parlayed into other PA gigs on several sitcoms before landing in the late-night talk show world of Jimmy Kimmel Live. After a two-year stint at JKL, Hayden landed an associate producer gig on Too Late with Adam Carolla for Comedy Central.  

 

When Carolla's show ended, Hayden spent the next ten years producing Gordon Ramsay for FOX while climbing the producer ranks. He followed his work on Gordon's shows to produce Undercover Boss, American Ninja Warrior, Top Gear USA, American Idol, Cesar 911, and Full Throttle Salon. For the past several years, Hayden has combined his love of producing with directing. Hayden's Directed hit shows Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, The Zimmern List, Crash Test World, Ghost Brother's Haunted Houseguest., Hardcore Carnivore, Wild Game Kitchen, and Field to Fire With Andrew Zimmern.   Hayden has continued his role as a Director and added Showrunner to his resume for three seasons of the show Feral with Chef Yia Vang for the Outdoor Channel. 

 

Hayden long ago figured out how a camera works… but it is in his experiences with those cameras that he learned the anatomy (bio pun) of great storytelling. So, if you see him around, buy him a bourbon on the rocks and tell him your story because that's why he created All is Well Entertainment—to share stories that invoke change and spur discussion.
