writer - director - editor - photographer
STATEMENT
I am driven to explore and understand the hidden messages, meanings and infinite realms of possibility that this Universe, this world, this soul has obscured in its fabric.
I studied at Full Sail University, where I received an Associates Degree in the Science of Film in 2006.
Since then I have written, produced, directed, shot and edited several short films that have shown at film festivals across the United States.
I recently completed my first feature film as a writer, director. The film, “Flashlight” went on to win Best First Feature at the Arizona International Film Festival and the Independent Spirit Award at the MidWest WeirdFest in 2024.
Over the last two decades I have worked on various feature motion picture projects as well as commercials, web series, and television shows in various departments.
My life is crafting meaningful stories through cinema, being a father and exploring the unknown.
I love what I do, I work hard and never give up.
