I am an independent documentary filmmaker, video producer and photographer living in Iowa City, Iowa. I work on a wide variety of projects in the Midwest around the world. I have a B.S. in Environmental Science and a professional background as a photojournalist and documentary photographer. In my work, I try to combine a strong visual sense with intimacy and bit of humor.

John is a very talented filmmaker who is great to work with. For this project he stayed much longer than anticipated to capture everything we asked for, and was extremely diligent about getting us the footage that same evening. We recommend John for any job, and look forward to working with him again!
