About me

CHICAGO CINEMATOGRAPHER / CAMERA OPERATOR/ DIRECTOR

I have over 2 decades of experience in the film industry as a Cinematographer, Camera Operator, and Director on projects including Feature Films, Shorts, Commercials, Documentaries, TV Series, Corporate videos, and Interviews. My freelance background also includes 7 years as AV Production Foreman, 13 years as Creative Director, 8 years as a professional Photographer, and 10 years as a theater performer. My combined experience has helped in the problem-solving needed onset, working with various crews, and troubleshooting solutions to stay on schedule.

My work often focuses on colorful visuals, creative storytelling, and practical on-set effects. My style is derived from the surreal nature of alternative advertising, the drive of independent filmmakers, and the humor of sketch comedy. I love working with a team to collaborate on each project regardless of the scope or budget and look forward to learning new skills and techniques while building relationships with creative professionals in the industry.

Owner/Operator of gear packages including RED / Canon cameras, Cine Primes, wireless audio/video items, and a 1-ton lighting/grip truck. My attached resume has further details about my experience, as well as a link to my CV, website, and full gear list. I'm also happy to provide additional details and references upon request.
