I am an accomplished cinematographer and producer with the technical mind for large scale complex projects, and the ability to think ahead for the story as an editor. I have managed multi-million dollar amusement parks, I have produced both short form and long form content in over 100 countries, and I've overseen seven figure production budgets. Whether it be operating cameras in the rain while summiting volcanoes by helicopter, or trying to dodge Conor McGregor’s left hook (both true stories), my commitment to the quality of the work remains constant. On my days off you can catch me practicing Muay Thai or road tripping with my dog to traverse another waterfall.…I am an accomplished cinematographer and producer with the technical mind for large scale complex projects, and the ability to think ahead for the story as an editor.
