I have worked extensively as a director, director of photography, 3D stereographer, producer, writer, editor and motion graphics artist. I co-founded Giraffe Film Company, Inc., a regional start-up that grew to a nationally recognized TV spot production company.
I have won numerous international and national awards as both a director and director of photography. I am also an experienced executive producer and line producer. I have written five feature film scripts to date and have worked as a script doctor on three others. I have edited features, documentaries, business films and literally hundreds of commercials; I also have extensive experience in 2D compositing and motion graphics.
