About me
I began my career as a motion picture and television editor, cutting for clients like PBS, ABC, TNT, Boomerang, Cartoon Network, and others.I originally trained as an actor and director in live theatre at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Now working exclusively behind the camera and in the editing room, my early experience working with stage actors remains a key component of my directing and producing approach.
I've worked as a screenwriter, director, editor, and producer for scores of film, television, and corporate spots.
In 2013, I launched Filmstigator, the Georgia Film Collaborative–a non-profit arts collaborative that brings actors, screenwriters, and filmmakers together to craft high-quality films in the southeast.

I've been awarded more than 80 creative awards over the last decade –including 2 CINE Golden Eagles, 7 Silver Telly Awards, and Finalist Awards in both Directing and Editing at the New York Film & Television Festival.
