Thank you for visiting my site. I am a filmmaker and cinematographer with a BFA from the College for Creative Studies (Detroit, MI ’02). Since then I’ve been fortunate to travel the globe working on commercials, documentaries and narrative films. Along the way I’ve met inspiring people (both behind and in-front of the camera), made lifelong friends and worked with talented filmmakers, artists and technicians. I love the collaborative process with directors, crews and clients to turn shared ideas into images on screen. I don’t take my job for granted,  it truly is a privilege to be a part of a team that tells stories through the tradition of filmmaking.
