I am a Salt Lake City, UT based Director of Photography/Cinematographer, editor, and colorist with 18+ years of experience across scripted TV, documentaries, and national commercials. I offer an end-to-end visual solution, combining high-end cinematography with expert editing and color grading.
From lighting massive commercial sets to lead-cinematography on international “run-and-gun” docu-series, I shoot with the final edit in mind. My expertise in the post-production pipeline ensures visual consistency and technical excellence from the first frame to the final grade.
Core Strengths:
• Production: Scripted/Unscripted TV, Sports, Lifestyle, and Product Campaigns.
• Post-Production: Advanced Editing, Color Grading, and Workflow Management.
• On-Set: Calm, solutions-focused leadership and efficient, “edit-ready” storytelling.
I protect your image quality and your schedule, delivering cinematic results that bridge the gap between production and post.
