I’m a documentary filmmaker, producer and photographer currently based in Portland, Oregon. Previously, I was a video producer at The Oregonian and Blue Chalk Media in Portland and before that, I worked on the photo desk at the Chicago Tribune. I received my Master’s in photojournalism from Ohio University, where I also taught several courses. In undergrad, I studied photography and art history in my parents’ hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. My love for photojournalism began early – when I claimed my grandfather’s piles of National Geographic magazines that he hoarded in his trailer in Kentucky after he passed away. As a perpetually curious person, I read endlessly and ask a lot of questions. Whether through films or photographs—my aim is to promote critical thinking, understanding and respect. I'm most drawn to making work that examines how environmental and economic changes affect marginalized or indigenous communities. I'm currently producing films for several NGOs that deal with issues related to women and children’s healthcare and education in India. My partner and I recently launched our collaborative production company, Stray Dogs (aptly named after our favorite animals in India). Check it out at www.straydogsmedia.com. I am available for assignments — and for chats.

Starting my television production career in Austin, TX in 1997, and after 20 years of television production experience, it's taught me one very valuable lesson: that THIS business is very unpredictable. That unpredictability is what keeps it exciting and drives me to each project. Shooting and editing promotional marketing packages, athletic highlight reels, behind the scenes, mini-docs and shooting on location, I excel at the "run & gun" ENG style shooting, adapting to many different situations and locations. Editing under tight deadlines and being a one-man band, from the first day of shooting to the final delivery is what I excel. Equipped with the latest technology for video, sound and editing, when you need it produced, shot and edited--hire ASF SHOOTS.
