I'm motivated by stories that matter, and inspired by the power of film to connect people across the planet. My work in documentary film includes working as a producer, camera operator, and post-production support for Makoshika, an award-winning film about the social impacts of oil's boom and bust in my home state of Montana. I also directed, edited and shot Banking on Trust, a film exploring sustainable poverty solutions through microloans in Argentina. My skills as a solo filmmaker have also sent me to Mexico multiple times to produce outreach videos for non-profit organizations in the San Quintín Valley.

I'm an independent filmmaker with a decade of experience in all areas of production - writing, directing, producing, editing and camera. I've dedicated a lot of my work to important and timely social issues, including conservation, indigenous rights, art as therapy, illiteracy and prison reform. I'm most experienced in the documentary form, but I've created narrative films too. Beyond my personal work, through my production company Kings Road Media, I've produced and created dozens of commercial and corporate projects. These clients have ranged from local artisans to multinational corporations.
