About me

I truly believe that film is the best art form for telling stories. I've always been a big-picture, philosophical thinker and have been seeking to find the right avenue for expressing my ideas in a digestible manner. Film gave me that avenue. I'm inspired by Stanley Kubrick, P.T. Anderson and the Coen brothers. Their ability to tell compelling stories has fascinated me. I picked up a camera in 2010 and began taking street photos. That taught me how to be around people with a camera. Then I moved to portraits of my friends. Then I pressed record and began working with camera movement. I started reading popular screenplays and started writing my own. I would use my friends and direct them on how to act and created my first short film in 2012. From then I started traveling the world taking pictures and filming everything around me. Practicing all the time, I finally started to get videography jobs as well as video editing jobs. I was based in Denver, CO up until November 2017 when I moved to Los Angeles, CA. In the first two weeks I PA'd on a feature horror film and learned a lot. From then on I got production jobs on short films, music videos, commercials. I worked as 1st and 2nd AC, location scout, and assistant editor. Now I'm freelancing in Burbank, finding film production jobs every which way. I just want to tell good stories and have fun along the way!
