I used to work for the tabloid newspaper BILD in Germany (Europe's largest newspaper) where I was part of the crime section in Berlin. As a multimedia reporter I covered the latest crimes that happened in the city. In late 2015 I was sent on an assignment to LA where I worked as a news reporter. I decided to stay and freelance after I met my wife. In 2016 I won the RIAS 1st Digital Media Award in Germany for the documentary "Feuerland Detroit" which I shot and edited on my own. Very recently I finished my first feature length documentary "Bangers to the Bible" which is about a former member of the Crips in LA who became a Bishop.

Whether I’m developing content for the high-powered world of commercial real estate or directing a wistful coming-of-stage story in a music video, I tell stories that stand for something. If it’s video, podcasts, articles, or even projection design, I lead projects with a creative but purpose-driven approach to content. I started in fiction writing and video production, and I carry those skills into other content services. I’m especially drawn to intimate stories that connect the little moments in life to larger societal conversations.
