Ethan Meyer -> American TV Producer

A former Governor once described my hometown as being on the “sh*t house side of Maryland.” As the child of two English teachers, I discovered a passion for storytelling and language at an early age. When that passion evolved into a love for visual media as a teenager, I genuinely didn’t know how to pursue it.

I had never been to Los Angeles or New York and didn’t know a soul in “the biz.” I thought that the only way to get into the entertainment industry was by working at the one Blockbuster Video in the county.  Which I did. I guess it worked?

Today, I’m a Supervising Producer for Leopard USA on HGTV's House Hunters International​, which the Washington Post calls "the most unstoppable juggernaut on TV." In 2021, HHI won the Critics Choice Real TV award for Best Lifestyle: Home/Garden Show, with our 2000 episodes viewed by nearly 2 million Americans before airing around the globe via Discovery. 

My experiences have taken me far. From Mexico to Micronesia, Ho Chi Minh to Hungary, Jakarta to Japan, Brazil to Britain, I have friends and contacts across the planet. Not bad for a kid who’s first flight at 9 months old went so poorly that my second flight was over 16 years later. 

Whether filming on location or producing from an office, I’ve learned how to navigate cultural differences while striking a balance between what is offered and what the client desires. Having produced hundreds of hours of television, I am able to achieve success with minimal stress, against all odds, on budget, and preserve those relationships not just for the future, but for good PR!

While I’ve always been a storyteller, the medium has evolved over the years. When not producing television, I can be found telling my son stories about silly gooses featuring characters from Sesame Street.

Thanks for stopping by - if you’re reading this, I hope that we get to work together soon.
