Howdy! I’m a director, editor and musician based in LA, originally from Ohio. While a lot of my work recently has been in editing, I love shepherding projects from ideation through creation to promotion. As an editor, I’ve collaborated with a ton of amazing creatives and have learned what to look for to make a project truly sing. And as a musician, I’m always crate digging, searching for new sounds to expand my sonic lexicon and to help describe the mood of the work I’m building. I enjoy hands-on work—from treatments, budgeting and scripts, to on-set collaboration, editing and light VFX—always aiming for a unified, compelling vision. I’m excited to keep growing as a director, editor and musician, and to team up with creatives who push boundaries.
