About

I am a versatile, freelance camera operator and director of photography with decades of experience across broadcast, industrial, and sports production. I have worked with major networks and teams, covering Mets baseball, college sports, auto racing, golf, and a wide range of productions for CBS, NBC, ESPN, SportsChannel, and MSG Entertainment. My career spans studio work, remote shoots, and multi-camera setups, delivering reliable imagery on time and on budget.

I pride myself on technical proficiency and collaborative storytelling, with hands-on experience in studio and EFP camera systems. I am comfortable with Panasonic Robocam and 4K/6K capture, and I have earned a Primetime Emmy Award with multiple nominations for work on Late Show and Mets coverage, among others.
