I am a filmmaker and producer based in Livermore, California, with a career spanning archival clearance, field production, and creative direction for documentary and branded storytelling. I’ve directed, produced, and written campaigns, collaborated with studios and networks, and built a track record of delivering compelling, rights-cleared content on time and on budget. I thrive on collaboration with directors, editors, and crews, and I’m passionate about telling people’s stories with integrity and flair—from political docs to music videos and brand campaigns. When I’m not in the field, I help teams navigate licensing, rights clearance, and production logistics to keep projects moving forward.
