In a lot of ways, my background as a musician has cemented this need in me: the never-ending, at-times-exhausting want to tap people into the incredible spectrum of emotions we feel through ways we can’t really identify. Perhaps something might resonate through the light in a photograph, or sometimes it’s through a chord change. Or how a frame is composed, maybe. Sometimes the spark lives in the timing of an edit or the colors of an image and how they belong together - or just importantly - don’t. Regardless of what the driver is, the payoff is always intensely gratifying when those feelings find a home.

Most days you can find me with some type of camera in my hands or in an edit bay. Currently, I’m in pursuit of my next short documentary / passion project while trying to write a record sometime this century. My resume begins with a job at a recording studio out of high school, then becomes littered with editorial work, in-house post jobs and directing work for global agencies, and a few extremely gratifying self-funded films that have had some international success and won awards in the festival circuit. Most recently, I led the video and creative team as the Director of Content at Rivian for 6+ years.

Thank you for poppin’ by! Drop a line and say hello.
