About

I’m a filmmaker, video editor, and post production producer with extensive experience bringing creative projects from concept to final delivery. My background includes feature length documentaries, television productions, live broadcasts, promotional trailers, and digital media. I’ve built my career through practical production experience, developing a strong understanding of storytelling, visual composition, pacing, sound design, motion graphics, and the technical demands of professional post production.

As a filmmaker and co-founder of The Enlightened Network, I’ve had the opportunity to oversee complex productions, collaborate with creative teams, and manage projects through every stage of post production. One of my recent accomplishments was directing and completing a feature length documentary that secured distribution on Amazon Prime Video. I’ve also worked extensively on live entertainment productions, developing broadcast graphics, promotional content, and professional visual assets for major events.

What sets me apart is my ability to see both the creative and technical sides of a project. I’m not simply an editor who assembles footage. I understand how to build compelling narratives, create emotional impact, solve technical challenges, and deliver polished content that meets professional distribution standards. I’m highly proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, with experience handling everything from initial edits to motion graphics, audio refinement, and final mastering.

Above all, I’m passionate about visual storytelling and creating content that leaves a lasting impression. I bring a combination of creativity, technical expertise, leadership, and attention to detail to every project. Whether I’m editing a documentary, producing a cinematic trailer, or managing an entire post production workflow, my goal is always the same: to elevate the material, exceed expectations, and deliver a finished product that both the client and I can be proud of.

Word War Debate is a premier live debate and entertainment series designed to bring high-profile personalities, influential thinkers, and opposing viewpoints together for compelling, professionally produced debates. I'm showcasing my 2nd episode from Woolworth Theatre in Nashville. The uploaded video preview is one of many debates that evening. As a Founding Partner and Producer, I play a key leadership role in the show's creative development, production strategy, and execution. My responsibilities include overseeing production, postproduction, developing promotional campaigns, producing cinematic trailers, and creating broadcast graphics and visual assets. The series has successfully produced major live events in Atlantic City and Nashville, reaching hundreds of thousands of viewers through YouTube, Rumble, and millions of viewers via social media platforms (clips), while continuing to expand its audience and industry presence.

The project was developed to explore controversial questions surrounding atmospheric trails, weather modification, and climate intervention through interviews, research, and compelling visual storytelling. As director, I oversaw the creative vision, production, and postproduction process, bringing together interviews, cinematic visuals, motion graphics, sound design, and editorial storytelling to create a feature documentary. The completed film was released on October 22, 2025, with distribution through digital platforms including Amazon Prime Video and Vimeo On Demand, reaching audiences beyond its initial release.
