I've been filmmaking and making shorts since I was a young lad with friends, dipped my toes in more tech knowledge in HS and studied it in college for a Film Studies degree. Making films more seriously and knowing the direction I wanted to take came with traveling after college. So, with the camera rolling, I found interesting stories to follow and during a two-year backpacking trip and a small kit with everything i'd need to produce content, I wore all the filmmaker's hats. One year ago, I finally took the plunge to start an LLC and begin assembling a more professional and range of productions to build more adequate strength in the field. The conclusion is an open mind toward filmmaking, but with a drive toward more documentary-styled content.

As an accomplished editor with a great deal of production experience, I've developed a full appreciation for everything that goes into crafting an engaging story. With a focus in documentary, I've edited pieces that fit into an array of categories ranging from "Fantorial" teasers for SYFY to fundraising videos for Make-A-Wish. Having worked through many quick turn arounds as well as sifting through mountains of footage to slowly craft a story arc, I'm ready to take on projects of all sizes. Being well-versed in all aspects of post-production, I can take a hard drive full of of footage to a well-polished finished product. I am passionate about what I do and will work my hardest to bring creative visions to life in interesting, meaningful ways.

Growing up all across the country, I found myself more and more comfortable in foreign places. Moving from one state to the other as a young boy I realized that exploring new places, meeting new people, and experiencing diverse cultures was key to my development as a person. I translate this curiosity into my daily life: work and play. I’m an athlete at heart who found myself becoming more and more enamored with photography. Capturing moments, big and small, to carve out a slice of experiences that constantly mold me. I am always trying to find new ways and new people to capture through the end of a camera lens.
