When I left college I spent a couple of years as a junior account executive for a large marketing firm... HATED IT. After that, three and a half years as a production asst/production mgr/assistant dir., and then 12 years as a grip/key grip. My experience with production allows me to be flexible and understanding with most budgetary constraints.

My career has brought me to $3,000,000 commercials, $20,000 music videos and countless "freebies" (which are often the most rewarding). I've used all the toys, and worked all the rigs. I bring a crew that shares my flexibility, and "love for the game"! We love our jobs and we bring an atmosphere of fun and creativity to the job, while maintaining the level of professionalism and experience that is necessary on the set.

My crew and I have worked with award winning DP's (Phaedon Pappamichael ASC, Doug Koch CSC, Dean Cundy ASC, Declan Quinn BSC, and more).

So next time you're in Toronto, drop me a line and maybe, you'll get lucky!!
