I'm a technical and artistic filmmaking professional with 14+ years of experience in network television, streaming, commercial, and feature film production. I have spent the last 11 years working on network narrative television shows. This includes large-scale episodic productions such as NBC’s Chicago Med, Chicago PD, Chicago Fire, FX's Fargo, Comedy Central's South Side, and Showtime's The Chi. I spent the last 5 years as a 1st Assistant Camera on Chicago Med. I specialize in camera systems operations, workflow coordination, troubleshooting, and high-pressure on-set execution. I am experienced in leading logistics and collaborating across multiple production departments, notably the editing department. In addition to my work in television, I also work on my own projects: most notably the 5-minute documentary "Spintronic." I was the cinematographer, sole camera operator and editor. "Spintronic" had it's world premiere at the Minneapolis International Film Festival and was featured at Midwest Independent Film Festival. _Website not available.
