I'm a filmmaker who focuses on small footprint, indie docs and branded content. I'm great with people, I love to interview, and I can handle all the teach and gear stuff. Going to school for a TV/Film degree, I was able to get hands on experience quickly. After school, I gravitated toward projects that I could manage myself, creating powerful stories with a small crew. Traveling for the story has become my thing in the past three years! I've worked in London, Italy, all over the US and Kenya. Music to my ears is hearing: "Here's the basic idea and story, now get out there and make something great." Put me in coach! I'll make you proud.

I love telling peoples' and brands' stories. I've been a Creative Director on some of the most well known brands in the world, but lately have shifted my focus to shooting 100% - both video and stills. While working in the "Advertising" world, I often directed and or shot work for my clients and over time, that has become my passion. I have a deep understanding of all the modern platforms, their best practices and what works best to make people pay attention. My focus is taking my ad industry know-how and marrying it to my photojournalistic way of working to bring meaningful and impactful stills and video to today's content starved platforms.
