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.

I got my start in the production world at Lunch and Recess, a production company based out of Charleston, SC creating corporate videos for clients all over the southeast. There I got a crash course in field production doing everything from lighting, gripping, field audio, and of course, shooting. While with L&R I worked with tons of clients and traveled all over the southeast and abroad. Eventually I moved on to WCCB-TV in Charlotte, NC where I regularly shot feature pieces and general news for the round the clock news programs. While there I prided myself on my ability to go back and forth instantaneously from run-&-gun breaking news stories to feature stories with elaborate setups.

I am an aspiring photojournalist and documentarian, and I have created several personal projects, the most recent being a documentary on the homeless population beneath the rain tunnels of Las Vegas. I seek adventurous, challenging stories that push me to embed myself in my projects and seek a broader understanding of the subject. It is my wish to inform the world about the world... hopefully as we learn to understand each other through media we can help make this a better place. Ultimately, this stems from a desire to not waste my life and put it to good use, a viewpoint I think all of us share here at Storyhunter.

Submitting through POV. I am a multi-media artist who works in the realm of photography, filmmaking, and theater. I am always looking for opportunities operate collectively to compose original artistic pieces, strive for perfection, unabashedly express my passion, and obliterate negative stereotypes that surround people of all ethnicities (especially, African-American people, and those lesser-mentioned cultures). I really enjoy stories that educate and entertain simultaneously. Stories that have authenticity and genuinely showcase humanity in diverse aspects. Stories that inspire and change viewers perspectives by seeing stories from a different perspectives.

Story-telling is most important to me. I approach each project as if it's a life of its own, making each frame count and bringing out the best in my subjects. I am also a DP so understanding the shot process and what naturally comes next is second nature. My experience in a wide range of industries including sports, food, art, music, fashion, documentary, and lifestyle allows me to quickly grasp the culture and goals of the client in order to get right to work. I believe two heads are better than one so I welcome collaboration. Overall, I believe in my ability to make a lot with a little while maintaining the highest quality possible.
