About
I’m a filmmaker with two degrees and more than a decade of experience, I believe that I have a relevant, yet unique, skillset that makes me well-suited for the position.
I’ve spent the last decade writing, directing, and editing for Film and Television. My latest film, LaRoy Texas, starring Steve Zahn (The White Lotus), has a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. My work has played around the world and won numerous of awards.
I also have experience working both as a videographer and copywriter. I’ve done projects for Saks 5th Avenue, Adobe, Intuit, among others. I’m currently working on a series of videos for the business software QuickBooks. Whether it’s filmmaking or advertising, I believe it’s all storytelling. And there’s nothing I like more than telling stories.
I consider myself highly organized as well as an excellent communicator. I have experience working with executives, marketing teams, financiers, producers, and a variety of crew members. These relationships require strong listening and communication skills as well as a love of the collaboration process. To me it’s the most enjoyable part of the work.
