As a director, I specialize in taking the seed of an idea from concept to completion. My favorite stage of the process is pre-production and deep diving into character and story research. I’ve found that this groundwork creates a visceral connection to the subject, which ultimately translates to a more authentic and powerful performance on screen.

 

The foundation of my career is built in the edit suite. There is an undeniable allure to getting intimate with the footage and having the entire story at your fingertips. I approach every project with an editor’s lens, ensuring that pacing and narrative clarity are prioritized from the first frame.

 

With over two decades in video production, I’ve spent the last 10 years mastering motion design to expand my visual vocabulary. My work in After Effects and Cinema 4D isn't just about graphics, it’s about integrating technical precision and 3D workflows into the narrative process to create a more cohesive and cinematic final product.

 

Over the years, I've had other creative desires. Desires that needed to be fed. Photography became a tool that helped me transition from editing to directing. But I loved working with computers and I needed a place to learn, play and experiment. That place became my Sandbox.

One midwestern summer night,

Four high school best friends set out to make a movie. With my parents VHS camera in hand, we took off to an abandoned train car that was the centerpiece to our action sequences. The piece was never edited together… I don’t think that was ever our intention. We hadn’t really thought about the “how,” but we tried our hardest to plan and film our action sequence linearly. However, what mattered most to us was that we had fun trying something different. That’s probably where the seed was planted for me. My mom, however, told the film school recruit that my creativity came from years of building with Legos. Wherever it began, I set out with a love for music videos but along the way, fell in love with storytelling as a whole.  When I’m not working, I enjoy live music, exploring off the beaten path and cooking.
