The common thread of my artistic and professional career has been telling stories. Whether designing computer generated images on a 1987 Macintosh SE, acting in theatrical productions, or assisting in the camera department on television shows, I love storytelling.

After 15 years on stage and in front of the camera, I found joy behind the lens, directing and immersing myself in the technical craft of narrative creation through moving pictures.  I take projects from pre-production concepts through post-production color-correction and audio mixing.

I am looking for new opportunities to combine my creative talents with my technical expertise to develop compelling content.
