Having a passion for being behind the camera developed at an early age when I started shooting and editing action sports movies. I continued on to Brooks Institute of Photography where I earned a BA in Film with an emphasis on commercial advertising. Since graduating in 2007 I have worked in almost every department in some fashion. Most of my experience being in Camera and light, I have worked on numerous productions ranging from small corporate videos to large scale network television series. Having over seventeen years in the business, I would love nothing more than to share my knowledge and collaborate with your team. WORK EXPERIENCE
