Raised in the back woods of New England I learned to build, break, and fix things. I worked and wandered through life spinning tales of folklore. Adventure rang me up and we began a torrid love affair. Multiple coasts, countries and careers later I sat down and began telling stories through video. My mission in life is to engage you. If you have a story and need someone to shout it from the roof tops give me a call.

Filmmaking is a passion of mine. After graduating with a broadcasting major in 2006, I dove into video production, and have enjoyed working on a diversity of projects. With each new video project, I step into someone else’s world, learn about their passion and tell their story. People, places and culture are inspiring and I hope to share that inspiration through video in a cinematic, creative way.
