Meet Jerel Levanway
Production Director

About Jerel Levanway

If the keg is a sour, you know whom to blame.

On days when he isn’t shooting a commercial, you can find him pacing in the hallway, talking on the phone, preparing for the next shoot. So production director. When he’s neither shooting a commercial, nor pacing in the hallway, he’s in his office, combing his beard and putting his hair in a bun.

Q&A

Tell us about a fictional product you’d like Mad Genius to get creative for.
A gene therapy reverse aging pill. The thing would sell itself, and I'm not getting any younger.
When you’re not working, you’re most likely…
Working on something at the house, however, that isn't what I'd like to be doing. I also spend a fair amount of time beekeeping. I have eight hives and mentor two new beekeepers. I also enjoy woodworking and bringing old antique tools back to life. I enjoy foraging and gardening, but my absolute favorite thing to do is probably fishing. I love getting out in my kayak and forgetting the rest of the world exists.
Tell us about a place you visited and something you loved about it.
New Zealand. Ridiculously nice people, ridiculously beautiful place.
