I started shooting skateboarding in the 90’s, and fell in love with cinematography and film. Today I have a small production company called OTDfilms and it's a fully-insured, one-stop shop for video content. I specialize in documentary and action, but I'm heavily experienced in all forms of storytelling. I'm a skilled producer, director, cinematographer and editor, so I can turn an idea into broadcast-quality content. I can also plug my main camera right into a zoom call so you can be on the set with us. I look forward to working with you.
