My Mission

Tell stories. My favorite projects are the ones that I get to help share a subject’s story. I’ve had the opportunity to create work for professional athletes, high-profile musicians and artists, and that’s exciting but so is helping the quite neighborhood hero, the boots-on-the-ground individuals trying to create change in their community. No matter how big or small a project is I can us my skillset to help amplify the subject’s work, bring attention to issues and create an emotional appeal from an audience.

History

Since I was 16 I’ve had a camera in my hand documenting adventures and talented friends. Enabled by a golden age of skate videos, wildlife documentarians like Steve Irwin and Jeff Corwin and the do-it-yourself filmmaking in series like Jackass and Wildboys. The best camera is the one you have in your bag. Internships within video production in the US and Australia during college lead to me pursuing a career in the industry. Seven years in now and I’m still creating, learning and enjoying the wild ride of this no two days are the same profession.
